“Emerald Futures”
About Emerald Futures
An innovative way to experience music and storytelling, Emerald Futures gives listeners a multi-sensory experience as they experience the freedom of exploring the city while immersed in the sounds of original compositions.
A collaboration between New York Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers’ program, the scripted audio sound walk features original compositions from young composers (ages 12-16), and leads listeners through New York’s Central Park to the Lincoln Center.
The experience culminates with Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s “We Belong Here” mural as a moment of reflection and response to ending AAPI hate. Phingbodhipakkiya created the “We Belong Here” campaign to confront the surge in bias and xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
