Performances Kicks-Off with Multi-Discipline Program Focused on Sustainability

ALBANY — The UAlbany Performing Arts Center kicks off its 2023-24 season of guest performances on Sunday, Sept. 24, at 2p.m. with “Rising Tide: The Crossroads Project,” a multi-disciplinary live performance fusing original music with art, imagery and science to address global sustainability. 

The 75-minute program is free and will take place at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center on the uptown University at Albany campus located at 1400 Washington Ave. The performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the performers and UAlbany experts.

Rising Tide confronts a planet under siege and a future in peril with the hope of inspiring audiences to change course.  The program features an original score by composer Laura Kaminsky, live musical performance by the Fry Street Quartet, lecture by physicist/climate educator Robert Davies and imagery by painter Rebecca Allen and environmental photographer Garth Lenz. 

Admission to the performance is free. No reservations or tickets are required.  For further information, contact the UAlbany Performing Arts Center’s main office at 518-442-3995 or pac@albany.edu.
