Building Community Through Music, Art, and Watershed Science

The project, Building Hydro-Local Community Through Music, Art, and Watershed Science, is led by School of Music faculty, including principal investigator Sara Fraker, associate professor, along with co-investigators Yuanyuan (Kay) He, a composer and assistant professor, Jackie Glazier, clarinetist and associate professor; plus, Carissa DiCindio, School of Art associate professor and Neha Gupta, an assistant research professor within AIR and the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences.

The arts-science integration began one evening when Glazier approached Fraker, who had recently collaborated with the Arizona Laboratory of Tree Ring Research to compose a piece inspired by the growth patterns of trees. Glazier said: “our next project needs to be water.”
