Aleksandra Vrebalov: The Sea Ranch Songs

Commissioned for Kronos Quartet by The Sea Ranch in celebration of the famed community's 50th birthday, Aleksandra Vrebalov's new work for string quartet, The Sea Ranch Songs, connects with the spirit, landscape, and architecture of this grand experiment in environmental stewardship, land development, and intentional community planning. Featuring rare documented sounds from the Northern California coastal town and its wild surroundings, this sumptuous multimedia work includes a dreamlike cinematic exploration by videographer Andrew Lyndon on a bonus DVD. Meditative, majestic and inspirational, The Sea Ranch Songs delves into the stunning panoramas and metaphysical geography of this magical place, where the paths of people and nature are harmoniously intertwined.
