Little Chamber Music proudly presents Music for Turtles, a multimedia concert featuring acclaimed pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa and award-winning visual artist SD Holman.
Turtles have lived on the planet for 230 million years, survived 3 mass extinction events, inspired sacred creation stories, and are inextricably entwined with the fate of the natural world, for better or for worse.
Holman and Iwaasa commissioned world premieres by composers Eliot Britton, Emily Doolittle, Glenn Sutherland and Nancy Tam drawing on turtles as a multivalent metaphor. With additional compositions by Jennifer Butler and Kara Gibbs and images by Holman, Music for Turtles is part love song, part elegy, part demon turtle revenge fantasy, exploring climate grief, natural wonder, interspecies kinship and ecological imaginings.
