Ellen Reid’s Soundwalk At Saratoga State Park Offers A Personal Soundtrack
Sep 20, 2020
SARATOGA SPRINGS – Whether it be a gorgeous IMAX film, an amateur home movie, or anything in-between, we’ve all experienced the value of a musical soundtrack while viewing beautiful scenes of nature.
Well, get ready for your own personal soundtrack while walking the grounds of Saratoga State Park. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center, in collaboration with several prestigious performing arts venues, is offering Ellen Reid’s Soundwalk through November 1.
It’s a musical public art installation that was designed for the landscape of Saratoga State Park by a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid. The music is performed by the Soundwalk Ensemble, of which Reid is a member. She plays synthesizer.
You will be able to walk an approximately mile-long route within the park, connect your ear phones to an app on your phone and hear your own soundtrack as you walk the areas around Geyser Creek and Vale Springs. The app on your phone is available free of charge at the SPAC website. Maps are available at the same site. The length and path of the walk is up to you.
A similar program conceived by Reid started operation last week in New York City’s Central Park. SPAC’s program is only the second in the country. Several more are planned for 2021 at other sites that combine classical musical performances within a pristine environment. Future locations include Wolf Trapp National Park in Virginia, The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia and Britt Music and Arts Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon.
