Lecture-Presentation – Landscape Architect Larry Weaner “Potential Harmonies: Connecting Garden Design and Music Composition”

Thursday January 25, 2018 - 7:30p.m. to 9:30p.m.

Venue: Room 146, 1017 N Olive Rd, Tucson, AZ 85721-0004

Garden design is largely considered a visual art, with landscape painting its closest relative. But, unlike paintings, gardens are not static. In reality they have more in common with music, where an ever-changing composition unfolds over time. Landscape designer and composer Larry Weaner will discuss how each of these art forms can inform the other to create more dynamic, legible, and evocative works of art.

 About the Presenter

 LARRY WEANER is nationally recognized for his work combining fine garden design and ecological restoration. He founded the firm Larry Weaner Landscape Associates in 1982. His work has received numerous recognitions and has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street journal, Garden Design, Landscape Architecture Magazine, and American Gardener. In 1990 he developed New Directions in the American Landscape (NDAL), a conference series dedicated to advancing the art and science of natural landscape design. Larry also composes multi-genre music and has had works performed at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and the Philadelphia music and performance Salon presented by composer Andrea Clearfield.

The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music presents Larry Weaner. This guest presentation will take place on Thursday, January 25, 2018 Room 146. Admission is free.

This project has been made possible by donors to the American Culture and Ideas Initiative, the College of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Planning, and the Fred Fox School of Music.

One thing that needs to be considered in this time of major climate change concern is the carbon emissions of flying in artists from overseas. The carbon emissions of flying Stockholm-Tucson roundtrip come to about 3 tons per economy class passenger. That is comparable to the carbon emissions produced by the average American in 1 year of driving. Could a US-based organist have played this recital (shorter travel distance and lower emissions)? Or, is Hammarstrom already on tour in the US (thus consolidating multiple recitals into 1 overseas trip)? There is also the option of offsetting flight emissions. Saying this as a DMA grad of the UA organ program and as an astronomy educator who’s following the astronomy field’s efforts to mitigate climate impact.
