Sound and Silence is an exploration of the stark contrast of life during the pandemic. Cellist Ben Kulp reflects on the time of COVID as society was inundated with news, noise, politics, and fear while being sharply juxtaposed by long periods of time alone. The program includes works by Andrea Casarrubios, Jacob Cooper, John Cage, and John Luther Adams.

Benjamin Kulp is the cello instructor at Upper Valley Music Center. He graduated from St. Olaf College with a Bachelor of Music in Music Performance, and a Master of Music from Ball State University, with further studies with Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi and Brant Taylor. He is an active solo and chamber performer in the Upper Valley. He is a former member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the Miami Symphony Orchestra, and teaches at workshops and institutes across the United States.
