The Space Around Us: A Musical Meditation on Climate Change

The Space Around Us is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Miami-based oboist Carly Gordon and FSU doctoral candidate, Jessica Pollack, clarinetist. Through a diverse selection of contemporary chamber works and spoken texts, performed among the artworks of FSU MoFA’s exhibition “Rising Water,” the concert explores the role of activism in a climate-impacted future.
