Close to the Earth: Music For Our Changing Climate at The Hyde

North Country Arts presents a concert of original music at Glens Falls’ Hyde Collection.

North Country Arts is presenting a live performance of original music titled “Close to the Earth: Music for Our Changing Climate” at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls.

Composed by Catherine Reid and Anthime Miller, this piece illustrates how climate change affects the Adirondacks' immediate environment through various musical movements played on piano and cello.

“Close to the Earth: Music for Our Changing Climate” is the latest exciting collaboration between Glens Falls native composers Miller and Reid. The performance begins at 2 pm on November 15 at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls.

The November 15 performance will be a workshop of musical material initially conceived in 2023 and developed by Miller and Reid after dozens of hours of interviewing scientists, activists and other stakeholders on the unique effects of climate change on the Adirondack Park.

The composers have created a mixed-media chamber music piece featuring cello, voice, piano, and electronics. This work delves into various elements of the ecosystems found in Adirondack Park, from the soothing sounds of birdsong and cicadas to the significant effects of disruptions in the food chain. It highlights how climate change threatens these and other elements in the Adirondacks’ 6 million acres.

The concert is part of North Country Arts’ pop-up gallery show “Climate Changes Impact on the Environment,” also running at The Hyde from November 14 through 17.

This program is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program of the NYS Council of the Arts with support of the office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature and administered by the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council.
