Biophony Festival 2021

Biophony Festival 2021

September 18th, 2021

This event, presented for the first time as part of Make Music Autumn, is the grand finale of Metropolis Ensemble’s summer-long project where the orchestra-collective's musicians and composers created their own new music pop-up events across NYC.

Each performance and listener-experience of Biophony at Brooklyn Botanic Garden will be unique, as determined by the unlimited flexibility of instrumentations, the topography of the site, and the freedom given to participants to choose their own musical adventure.
