Owego Rotary Club sponsored the June exhibit at the Tioga Arts Council titled “All is Loneliness: A Multimedia Tribute to Moondog”.
The arts council writes about the show, “Street musician, instrument maker, and avant-garde composer, Louis Thomas Hardin (1916-1999), known as Moondog, inspired musicians as varied as Charlie Parker, Frank Zappa, and Igor Stravinsky. Known to perform his original compositions on Sixth Avenue in full Viking regalia, Moondog also maintained a home upstate in Candor, New York. All Is Loneliness: A Multimedia Tribute to the Life and Music of Moondog recognizes and celebrates the life of a true American original, whose contributions to jazz, classical, indie, folk, and rock music are incalculable. The exhibit will also explore Tioga County’s influence on this legendary artist”.
Opening night was Friday, June 6. The exhibit includes pieces by two Rotary members!
It continues June 7-28, with a special listening and story session on June 28th at 1:30 pm.
