🌳🪾We are excited to begin work next week on a living, breathing collaborative piece called “Root Song”! Root Song will be a site-specific performance set among the oaks and maples in Philadelphia’s Bartram’s Garden, interweaving live vocal chamber music and storytelling to create an embodied experience of listening to the wisdom of trees. Inspired by recent scientific inquiries into plant sentience and mycorrhizal networks, whose findings resonate with Traditional Ecological Knowledge acquired by Indigenous cultures over millennia, Root Song asks the question: how can the deep listening of a musical and storytelling experience invite us to once again hear the voices of the more-than-human world, starting with trees? Honored to be working with an incredible team on Root Song! Presented by Philadelphia Chamber Music Society + @artphilly2026 What Now Festival Director & Creative Producer: Jazimina Creamer-MacNeil Composer: Christopher Theofanidis Librettist: Melissa Studdard Storyteller: Tchin Actor: @ladybrettashley Stay tuned for more of the process as it unfolds, leading up to the performance in May 2026!
