About This Show
For one evening, audiences at Dixon Place will be transported to a forest oasis, serenaded by a chorus of thousands of live crickets. Adam Brody, of CricketFarm, will provide an orientation on how to listen to a cricket orchestra and will lead the crickets through three movements, wherein their songs will change through subtle shifts in their environment.
