Roots in the Sky, Montana's premier chamber choir, and Tinworks Art join forces to present The End of Rain, a multimedia work by Scott Ordway for chamber orchestra, choir, and landscape photography that considers the way that climate change and wildfires are affecting our relationship to the landscapes we call home, with a libretto based on crowd-sourced input from 225 Californians who collectively contributed 80,000 words of first-hand stories of wildfire and drought.

The End of Rain

Fire and drought have become defining aspects of life in the western United States. How are these phenomena changing people internally, how are they reshaping communities, and how are they changing the way we look at the landscape? For eighteen months, composer Scott Ordway traveled widely in California in order to pose these questions to individuals and communities, and between December 2020 and June 2022, he collected 80,000 words of first hand witness accounts of fire and drought from 225 Californians in towns and cities throughout the state. He also took thousands of photographs and hundreds of minutes of video. Drawing on these raw materials, Ordway created the The End of Rain, a multimedia work for chamber orchestra, choir, and landscape photography.

Inspired by the work of journalists, filmmakers, documentary and fine art photographers, and social scientists, The End of Rain acts as a conduit for the voices and experiences of other people in order to understand how individuals and communities related to the landscape around them in this new era of continuous fires and the droughts that precipitate them, and attempts to reveal how fire and drought are changing us in personal and often hidden ways. The End of Rain is divided into three parts, each reflecting a predominant recurring theme in the crowd-sourced texts.

About the Composer:

Composer and multimedia artist Scott Ordway (b. 1984, California) has become recognized for his boundary-defying mixed-media projects, creating widely-acclaimed work that has been called “exquisite” (New York Times), “haunting and beautiful” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “a marvel” (Philadelphia Inquirer). Ordway’s remarkably diverse works fuse music with text (frequently his own), video, digital soundscape, photography, and experimental theater to explore an eclectic array of contemporary, often urgent themes including ecology and landscape, architecture, protest and revolution, and urban life.

Hailed as “an American response to Sibelius” by The Boston Globe and praised for their “arresting originality” (Gramophone), his compositions have been commissioned or performed by the Hong Kong, Buffalo, and Colorado Springs Philharmonics; Tucson Symphony; Hong Kong Arts, Beijing Modern, Bang on a Can, Cabrillo, and Aspen Music Festivals; Tanglewood New Fromm Players; Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler; Sweden’s Norrbotten NEO; Yale Institute of Sacred Music; Roomful of Teeth, The Thirteen, and Lorelei Ensemble; SOLI Chamber Ensemble; and the Jasper, Momenta, Daedalus, and Arneis String Quartets. His music is recorded on the Acis, Naxos, Bright Shiny Things, and TRPTK labels.

Ordway is Associate Professor of Music Composition at Rutgers University where he teaches courses on music, landscape, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

An unconventional work in every way, Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi was nevertheless a sensation when it was released in 1983. This first work of The Qatsi Trilogy wordlessly surveys the rapidly changing environments of the Northern Hemisphere, in an astonishing collage created by the director, cinematographer Ron Fricke, and composer Philip Glass. It shuttles viewers from one jaw-dropping vision to the next, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings’ increasing dependence on technology Koyaanisqatsi’s heterodox methods (including hypnotic time-lapse photography) make it a look at our world from a truly unique angle. Directed by Godfery Reggio, Music by Philip Glass, Cinematography by Ron Fricke. 86 minutes.

Agnès Varda’s extraordinary late-career renaissance began with this wonderfully idiosyncratic, self-reflexive documentary in which the French cinema icon explores the world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for what society throws away. Embracing the intimacy and freedom of digital filmmaking, Varda posits herself as a kind of gleaner of images and ideas, one whose generous, expansive vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. By turns playful, philosophical, and subtly political, The Gleaners and I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who, like her subjects, finds unexpected richness where few think to look. Directed and produced by Agnes Varda, Cinematography by Agnes Varda, Didier Doussin, Stéphane Krausz, Didier Rouget, and Pascal Sautelet. 82 minutes.

Learn the ancient technique of wool wet-felting and deepen your connection to the people, lands, and animal agriculture of Montana. You will learn the basic techniques of felting and be guided toward the making of your own felted wool art. This class is designed for first-time felters and those with some experience.  

A classically trained artist, Meghan studied fine art at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and earned a degree in art education from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Her transition to wool as an art medium accompanied her journey to Livingston, Montana where she now resides with her husband and two children. Through experimentation with felting, Meghan carried her inspiration from the landscape into a new art medium. Her work blends rich textures with an evolved, modern look creating wonderfully tactile yet refined art.
