SUMMARY:Art in Motion: 25 Years of Sculpture by George Sherwood
DESCRIPTION:Explore an extraordinary collection of kinetic sculptures\, masterfully crafted by artist and engineer George Sherwood. Art in Motion spans an impressive 25 years of Sherwood’s artistic journey\, showcasing 17 intricate stainless-steel sculptures that move in the wind and reflect the sunlight. Drawing inspiration from patterns and perspectives in nature such as birds in flight\, ripples and reflections on the surface of water\, and floral forms\, each sculpture captures the dynamic forces of nature and reflects the beauty of our living world. Art in Motion invites visitors to New England Botanic Garden to find moments of tranquility and joy while considering the subtle\, ongoing changes taking place in the natural world around us. Each sculpture featured in Art in Motion varies in shape\, size\, and movement\, ranging from smaller more intimate sculptures to large-scale works reaching up to 21 feet. A collection of Sherwood’s work\, Wind\, Waves and Light\, was featured at New England Botanic Garden in 2019. A few favorites from this collection return as part of Art in Motion along with pieces not previously displayed at the Garden and one new\, never-before-seen sculpture. Discover them all this spring\, summer\, and fall! Guided golf cart tours of the exhibition are available Thursdays from 11 – 11:45AM. Learn more at https://nebg.org/art-in-motion/.

SUMMARY:Béla Fleck\, Edmar Castañeda\, and Antonio Sánchez Trio
DESCRIPTION:Over the past half-century\, Béla Fleck has exploded the parameters of the banjo\, taking his staggering musicality to inspired blends of bluegrass\, fusion\, folk\, jazz\, classical\, global music and more. In the process he’s won 18 Grammy Awards and rightfully earned a reputation as one of our most brilliant instrumentalists. He brings his latest project – a banjo\, drums\, and harp trio – to the Concert Hall. \nTo be sure\, the new all-star trio of Béla Fleck\, harpist Edmar Castañeda\, and drummer Antonio Sánchez features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless\, of course\, you’re already familiar with 18-time Grammy-winner Fleck – the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument’s history. \nPlaying original repertoire\, much of it collaboratively written\, this trio embarks nightly on fearless explorations that audiences will find irresistible – rich with strong melodies\, gorgeous harmony\, and grooves that twist and turn\, while feeling fantastic. \nFrom his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones\, his duo with Chick Corea\, and his reimagining of Rhapsody in Blue\, Fleck’s work never fails to surprise. What doesn’t surprise is the impeccable caliber of his collaborators – and this new trio includes two of the most gifted musicians of their generation.\nThe harpist\, Casteñada\, hails from Bogotá\, Colombia\, and has led his own bands in addition to sharing projects with such masters as Hiromi\, Paquito D’Rivera\, and Grégoire Maret. \n5-time Grammy-winner Sánchez grew up in Mexico City and built a reputation as one of the great jazz drummers through his work with guitarist Pat Metheny\, while his Golden Globe-nominated drum-set score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2014 film Birdman earned him renown far outside the jazz world.
