The Extinction Series
2025 Public-Space Run · May 1, 2025 · New York public spaces
Art and activism in action; questioning the idea of traditional performance spaces. This 2025 run presented collections from The Extinction Series in free, open-air spaces where the city intersects with nature.
The series is a collection of miniatures: each movement is a musical obituary for an extinct animal, and part of a project that cannot be completed within the composer’s lifetime. The performances raised awareness of the irreversible ramifications of climate change through brief public concerts across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.
