Thousand mile song

Important: this event has passed!

Whale song is an astonishing world of sound whose existence no one suspected before the 1960s. Its discovery has forced us to confront the possibility of an alien intelligence not in outer space but right here on earth. 

This event will explore how researchers from around the globe have attempted to decipher underwater music as they confront an unknown as vast as the ocean. It'll also look David Rothenberg's personal quest to make interspecies music, by playing his clarinet with whales in their native habitats from Russia to Canada to Hawaii. 

This event is inassociation with Perseus Books.
