As part of the Festival of the River, and as an extension of the Institute for Contemporary Art's's inaugural exhibition Declaration, the ICA and Richmond Symphony co-commissioned three new performances by artists Hope Ginsburg, Marinella Senatore, and Paul Rucker—each of which was created with a rich group of collaborators. These performances reinforce shared values: both the Symphony and ICA are committed to providing inclusive platforms, supporting the development of powerful new creative works, and fostering collaborations that reach into the city and allow wide audiences to experience the transformative power of art. These three performances were also presented in conjunction with Sound Arts Richmond, a summer-long initiative to present sound art projects around the city.
