Plantwise Walk: Broaden Your Evergreen Palette 

Fri, Feb 23, 2:00PM – 3:00PM 

Free with admission to the grounds 

Registration required; online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. 

There is more than holly when it comes to broad-leaved evergreens. We will look at this growing collection of evergreens with their waxy-like leaves that glisten and reflect the winter sun. 

About the Plantwise Walk series: 

A series led by Jess Brey, Wave Hill’s Senior Horticultural Interpreter, each “walk and talk” will focus on a specific group of plants, encouraging a deeper relationship with some of the special plants that grow at Wave Hill. Topics explored may be nomenclature, ethnobotany, history and plant culture, such as pruning, germination and propagation. As the series title indicates, this is a program for the curious; adult participants with some plant knowledge will get the most out of these programs.

With their unique blend of toy piano, electronics, and multimedia, Chromic Duo— comprised of award-winning pianists Lucy Yao and Dorothy Chan—present Room of Oceans, a program that ruminates on the question: How can we create moments of connection and empathy? Featuring pieces inspired by nature, Chromic invites audiences to reflect on their current state of being, believing that by slowing down and looking at the smallest objects of the everyday, "we can uncover truths and reimagine how we connect with each other.” 

This concert is part of “Roots and Branches,” Wave Hill’s indoor concert series featuring artists from across musical disciplines, exploring how traditions and heritage inspire musical exploration and growth.
