Why Make Music with Other Species?". The lecture takes place on Tuesday, Octotber 4, 2022 at the FHS (Pátkova 5, Prague 8 – Libeň).
David Rothenberg a professor of philosophy and music at the New Jersey Institute of Technology known for his performance and books, making music live with nightingales, humpback whales, seventeen-year cicadas and unknown pond creatures, explains how this kind of music expands humanity‘s care and value for other species, and thereby marks one small way to make a difference in a time when many species on Earth, including our own, are threatened an in danger.

Can music make a difference to nature? We shall see.
His lecture will include some performing, most likely with recordings not live critters, but who knows?
