Ear Heart Music Presents: Madeleine Shapiro, Earth Day

Cellist Madeleine Shapiro celebrates Earth Day and continues her Nature Project with "Fracked," a special concert of works for cello and electronics highlighting the serious issues of water conservation we face today. New York and world premieres of works written specially for this project include Dart by British composer Tom Williams who grew up on the Dart River in Dartmoor, UK; Fracked, Fred DeSena's new work exploring the controversial practice of hydrofracturing by weaving verbal commentary into the electronic track; and Canadian composer Gayle Young's meditative exploration of the rock bound Avalon shoreline of New Foundland.
