ACF Community Conversation: “Reading the Rocks” with Niloufar Nourbakhsh
May 15 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
Entry for this event is free, but reservations are required.
Join ACF and the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra for a conversation with composer Niloufar Nourbakhsh and geologist Marcia Bjornerud as they explore our planet’s history as chronicled by rocks, music, and the flow of time. Inspired by Bjornerud’s book, Reading the Rocks, Nourbakhsh’s MPO-commissioned work Deep Time creates orchestral soundscapes that bring salient moments from the earth’s 4.5 billion year history to the present day.
The event includes a panel discussion, Q&A, and casual conversation with audience members. Attendees will also get a first listen to selections from Deep Time before the world premiere the following day.
