After Dinner Mint | "Forces of Nature"
11/4/13 | 7 p.m. | Hockett Family Recital Hall

Oceans, wind, weather, wildfires—and the fluid states of war and peace they share—continue to inspire composers and performers in a number of soulful and enchanting ways. These elements permeate the varied motion of animals and the cycle of plants, transforming the natural world around mankind, cutting canyons of clarity, beauty, and awe in their wake. 

Join a storm of Ithaca College School of Music faculty for the next After Dinner Mint concert, where their variations on this interconnected beauty will affix the power of sound to the very Forces of Nature.
