Members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra Glen Cherry, violin Lisa Ji Eun Kim, violin Mary Ferrillo, viola Christine Lee, cello Lyra Brennan, Director Coastal Waterbird Program, Mass Audubon (guest speaker) HAYDN String Quartet in D, Opus 64, No. 5, The Lark

In partnership with Mass Audubon and the Boston Public Art Triennial, this free event brings together BSO musicians for a string quartet performance of Haydn’s “The Lark” and conservation expert Lyra Brennan (director of Mass Audubon’s coastal waterbird program) for an inspiring program held in the Solar Meadow at the Boston Nature Center where artist Laura Lima’s installation is on view throughout the trails as part of the Boston Public Art Triennial. Part of the BSO’s humanities initiative, this event explores the multi-season theme Where Words End: Music and the Natural World.

In the event of rain, the program will be held indoors. The space will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow time for guests to explore the trails, see the artwork, and enjoy light refreshments. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run for about an hour with time for questions.
