Inspired by the setting of Governors Island—once a seasonal Native American fishing camp, then a military base, now reclaimed as public parkland in the waters of New York City—Ensemble Connect presents a program juxtaposing the urban and rural; the natural and manmade; a nostalgia for an idyllic past and an uncertainty about a sustainable future.
Works by Lou Harrison, Gabriella Smith, Yie Eun Chun, and Charles Ives.
Two performances at 1 and 3 pm.
