Piano by Nature Presents “Piano in Nature” Concert
June 4 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Piano in Nature
Saturday, June 3rd @ 3:00PM, Essex Quarry, Essex, NY
Sunday, June 4th @ 3:00PM, Hand House, Elizabethtown, NY
When Piano by Nature was founded in 2008, we knew that we would one day find a way to create a literal harmony between the great Adirondack wild and a live outdoor musical experience, adding depth and meaning to this unique place that so many of us call home.
By changing one little word, ‘by’ to ‘in’, we are now able to embark upon this more literal meaning. On Saturday, June 3rd at 3:00PM (coincidentally, National Trails Day), Piano in Nature will present an exciting outdoor concert unlike any we have produced to date. National Trails Day exists to recognize all the incredible benefits federal, state, and local trails provide for recreation and exposure to nature. With this in mind, we could not have selected a more perfect day for a piano concert at the quarry in Essex. Together we will celebrate our many connections to the natural surroundings of the Adirondacks with kinship, food, and of course, music!
Come hear pianist Ben Cosgrove’s compelling improvisations at the Essex Quarry on Saturday, June 3rd at 3:00PM. Ben will take us on a one-of-a-kind musical journey, completely unique to this location and season. On Sunday, June 4th at 3:00PM, you can return to the elegance of the Hand House in Elizabethtown to hear Ben create something equally awe-inspiring and unique. Both concerts will explore ways in which music can help to create a sense of belonging in this place, at this time. And both concert events celebrate our shared love of pianos, by and in nature.
