Music and the Ecology of Cemeteries
Sunday December 7th at 2:00PM Sound and Memory
will present a live music program and workshop exploring green burial practices and eco-friendly rituals. Led by End of Life Doula, Violinist and Music Composer Concetta Abbate. In this program we will discuss the value of cemeteries as green community spaces, cultural centers and historical sites. We will learn what eco burial options are available at Maple Grove Cemetery (Queens, NYC) and we will explore our philosophical connections to nature through life and death. Each topic will be interwoven with a live musical offering and reflection. This program is sponsored by the Human Impacts Institute and the Friends of Maple Grove.
