Over fifty years ago, an isolated landscape on the edge of the Pacific in Sonoma County became the site of The Sea Ranch, a great experiment in land development and intentional community planning. The Sea Ranch Songs is an immersive evening of cinema and live performance by Kronos Quartet that pays tribute to the spirit, nature, and architecture of this magical place.
Commissioned in celebration of The Sea Ranch's 50th birthday (2014-2015), The Sea Ranch Songs is a lush contemporary composition by composer Aleksandra Vrebalov that features documented sounds from the coastal community and is coupled with an evocative cinematic exploration by videographer Andrew Lyndon. Reaching far beyond the visible landscape, the multimedia work delves into The Sea Ranch's metaphysical geography and considers this rare place where people and nature are harmoniously intertwined.
