Water(color) for the Soul: Music of Lake Michigan

Returning by popular demand, Black Moon Trio guides Veterans from the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center and We Serve: Special Recreation Association for Central Lake County to create and perform their very own musical compositions. 

Using resources from Brushwood Center’s At Ease and Art Supply Exchange programs, Veterans participate in a six-week graphic score and poetry composition residency culminating in the creation of 20 original pieces of music performed and recorded by professional musicians.

Black Moon Trio is honored to again be joined by world-renowned botanical artist, Heeyoung Kim and members of her Botanical Art Academy to showcase watercolor painting methods and techniques. Poet and creativity expert Kathryn Haydon also joins the team as her collection of poetry, Unsalted Blue Sunrise: Poems of Lake Michigan, provides the thematic framework for Veterans to compose works about their connections to our freshwater treasure as well as their connections to each other.

This program has been generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts’ Creative Forces initiative.
