To recognize and celebrate the transition into a post-pandemic world, Emerald Futures is an AR soundwalk that guides you through a year of transformation and growth, from Central Park (W. 72nd St + Central Park West) to Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s mural, “We Belong Here” , in response to the rise of anti-AAPI hate.

Immerse yourself in an evolving soundworld that changes according to your geographic location, as you listen to world premieres of pieces by the Very Young Composers. With GPS hotspots plotted along the route, site-specific pieces will play as you move from one contrasting natural soundscape into a future imagined by the next generation of composers + thinkers on a future that we believe in.

Register here for timed entry at 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, and 7:30pm ET
