Sounds of the Changing Arctic is a program of musical works that explore distinct features of the Arctic, current scientific research, and the sense of place that we feel as both individuals and communities within the Arctic. We welcome three Juneau-Based composers – Todd Hunt, Beth Leibowtz, and Michael Bucy – who were the originators of the Climate Soundscapes concert first performed in Juneau, collaborating with scientists from The International Arctic Research Center in 2022 to develop their compositions, Glacial Pathways, Lost Ice, and Babel 2.0. Together with the efforts and talents of UAF faculty scientists, UAF faculty musicians, and UAF student musicians we look forward to offering this event to the community of Fairbanks.
