John Bulmer Partners with National Sawdust for "Dark Sky: A Night of Music and Imagery"
Brooklyn, NY – December 24, 2024 – Photographer and DarkSky International Delegate John Bulmer is thrilled to announce his partnership with National Sawdust, one of New York’s premier performance spaces, to present Dark Sky: Music by Kaija Saariaho, Caroline Shaw, Andrew Yee, & More. The event, scheduled for February 12, 2025, will blend celestial photography and world-class music in an unforgettable celebration of art and conservation.
The NS+ program, hosted by Elena Park, will also feature Yee performing their own work and Allen on piano, as well as readings and poetry. The evening, showcasing photography by DarkSky International Delegate John Bulmer, will focus on the critical preservation of the night sky, exploring local and global efforts to reduce light pollution and protect animals, humans, and the environment.
Bulmer’s night sky photography will be projected in large format across the performance space, creating an immersive visual backdrop for a star-studded lineup of performers, including Grammy-winning cellist Andrew Yee, soprano Susanna Phillips, and the innovative Fourth Wall Ensemble, led by Christopher Allen. The program will also feature readings and poetry, all centered on the critical need to preserve the night sky and combat light pollution.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that art has afforded me to collaborate and connect with others,” said Bulmer. “Preserving the night sky is not only about beauty—it’s about safeguarding an essential part of our natural world for future generations. Working with National Sawdust and these extraordinary artists gives me a platform to inspire change through the intersection of art and advocacy. I hope this evening will move audiences to appreciate and protect the fragile beauty of our dark skies.”
The event is part of National Sawdust+’s For Nature series, which explores the interplay between the natural world and human creativity. Hosted by Elena Park, the evening promises a unique blend of music, imagery, and conversation designed to inspire and educate audiences about the importance of environmental conservation.
