Join us for this event where we celebrate an often overlooked masterpiece of The Ringling, the Bayfront Gardens. Featuring percussionist Matthew Duvall and featured eco-acoustic composer Matthew Burtner, this outdoor happening will invite the audience to participate in a performance where the arboretum becomes an instrument. With additional guest artists beyond this point, George Nickson, Kyong Mee Choi, Cory Hills, Tim Feeney, Rich Stitzel, Matthew McCabe, and the Kraken Quartet. Guests are welcome to bring towels or picnic blankets to sit on while enjoying the performance.
