In connection with the exhibition “Divergent Convergence: The Arts of Creativity, Discovery & Inquiry,” this afternoon event will feature original works by the 2018-2019 Harn Composer-in-Residence Diogo Carvalho incorporating music, dance, poetry, and audience participation.
Featured will be the world premiere of “Garden Soundscape” (2019), an original work inspired by the Harn Asian Rock Garden and “Inside Outside: Outside Inside—A Century of East Asian Landscapes 1900s–2000s” exhibition. Using the garden as a starting point to organize form and development in the music, the piece will be performed by The Bold City Contemporary Ensemble with the composition following the visual aspects of a garden design developed by volunteer Martin McKellar specifically for this project.

This program is funded by the Cofrin Curator of Asian Art Endowment and UF International Center, with support from College of the Arts and Fine Arts College Council, UF Student Government, and co-sponsorship by UF Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere (Rothman Endowment).
