Both performances will also be livestreamed. 

Mount Hope World Singers, in collaboration with visual artist and animator Christine A. Banna and composer Logan Barrett, presents an immersive, multidisciplinary concert exploring the senses and reflecting the vastness of the world we inhabit as humans.

“We're looking at the way that a human sensory bubble is different from the sensory bubbles of other creatures,” said Artistic Director Annika Bentley. In summarizing the list of songs she selected for the program, she said, “All of this music is touching as many senses as possible — our big five, but also magnetoreception, echolocation, nociception, equilibrioception, thermoception... As many as I could possibly get in there, and I think I hit them all. Except I could not find a piece that was up to [the chorus’s] standards, that met all of our metrics, for electroreception — and so I am writing one for us.”

Both Banna and Barrett will engage in live mixing during the performances, making each show unique.

Tickets are available online on a sliding payment scale, with a suggested contribution of $15 each. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door. 

This project is made possible in part by funds through the Rochester Area Community Foundation; by funds through the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts’ Aid to Localities program; and by funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.

This project is also funded in part by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation Arts & Culture Initiative administered by Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo in partnership with Rochester Area Community Foundation. The Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Arts & Culture Initiative was established at the Community Foundation to support arts and culture in the eight counties of Western New York, plus Monroe County, in recognition of the key role arts and culture organizations play in a thriving economy. Part of that announcement includes $500,000 in annual funding to be awarded primarily to support small to mid-sized arts and culture organizations in the nine counties.
