In commemorating the one year anniversary of the pandemic, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden has done its own reflection by working with composer Michael Gordon to install his composition loved. Performed by percussionist David Cossin, the meditative composition for seven vibraphones plays hourly on Cherry Esplanade and runs for five minutes and 28 seconds. You can meditate in the natural beauty of the blossoming trees as this haunting and uplifting piece is broadcast throughout the esplanade.
