The sky overhead City Park in Iowa City was clear, a dome of deep blue. Under that sky, more than 100 musicians arranged in concentric circles around conductor Steven Schick, their legs folded in lotus positions. Schick stood up and brought a sea shell to his mouth. The sound was almost imperceptible, only the friction of the air he blew as it entered the shell. Schick filled his lungs, tipped his head back and blew again.

Steven Schick and Aaron Greenwald, Hancher programming and engagement director, will explore the music of John Luther Adams and the ways contemporary music engages the natural world and works to raise climate-consciousness.
