Grammy-nominated composer and bassist Stephan Crump
is joined by renowned science journalist and National Geographic Explorer
Erica Gies to discuss the intersection of their work. Gies is the author of
Water Always Wins, which inspired Crump's epic suite, Slow Water,
to be performed the same evening at Krannert Center.
The conversation will include details from the environmental
science discoveries presented in Gies' book as well as Crump's
approaches to taking that information and inspiration into the
compositional and band-leading process. Questions from the
audience will be welcomed.
While students of environmental science and music performance
and composition are strongly encouraged to attend,
we invite all members of the community to join.
