Join the Chicago-based, four-time Grammy-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird for a special performance at the MoCP. Experience a musical journey through the museum, as the ensemble leads a multi-sensory, interactive performance that responds to the visual imagery of the exhibition sonically. This event is free, but space is limited.

The McIntire Department of Music presents The Coastal Futures Conservatory concert featuring Eighth Blackbird and the Rivanna String Quartet on September 23 in Old Cabell Hall. The Coastal Futures Conservatory integrates arts and humanities into the investigation of coastal change. Working with scientists at the Virginia Coastal Reserve, an NSF-supported Long-Term Ecological Research site, the Conservatory aims to deepen understanding and stimulate imagination by opening ways to listen to the dynamics reshaping coasts.
