**Annea Lockwood** (b. 1939), recently described by *The New York Times* as “a composer of insatiable curiosity and a singular ear for the music of the natural world,” brings a robust program of recent works from the last two decades to Harvard. The program includes ***Becoming Air*** **(2018)**, a visceral solo work that plumbs the depths of trumpet sound through volatile textures and fragile resonances, at times fading to near inaudibility. ***Jitterbug*** **(2007)** transports listeners to the lakes and backwaters of Montana, where musicians interpret rock photographs as graphic scores, evoking a kind of sonic geology. ***Buoyant*** **(2013)** and ***Into the Vanishing Point*** **(2019)** are two alluringly lush works: the first draws audiences into the world of Lockwood’s visionary field recordings, while the second unfolds a unique soundscape of rubbed piano strings, gently handled objects, and chiming pitches that conjure a plethora of natural images––insects and frogs, wind through trees, and the wings of birds in flight.

Curated by flutist and professor **Claire Chase**, the evening draws upon Lockwood’s intensively collaborative compositional process by bringing together an array of performers—many of whom commissioned, premiered, and championed these works—including the trumpeter **Nathan Wooley**, pianist **Vicki Ray**, percussionist **Wesley Sumpter**, and the ensemble **Yarn/Wire**.
