From composer Sarah Kirkland Snider (“An unerring knack for breathtaking beauty” – The New
Yorker), Mass for the Endangered is a unique film presentation of a work of music, poetry, and
video animation with art and poetry by Nathaniel Bellows. The piece is a hymn for the voiceless
and the discounted, a requiem for the not-yet-gone, a prayer for endangered animals and the
imperiled environments in which they live.
Snider’s stunning music in the film was recorded by the award-winning British ensemble
Gallicantus.
"One of today's most compelling composers for the human voice." – NPR
The screenings will take place in the ScienceWorks Museum at 1500 E. Main St. in Ashland.
The event will also include opportunities to take part in a beautiful community art project led by
artist Karen Hanken and learn more about the endangered animals of our region.
Showtimes: 2 PM and 3 PM
