Rockport Conservation Commission to host evening of conversation and music with Halcyon String Quartet
The Rockport Conservation Commission will present "Rising Tides, Lifting All Boats," a unique performance by the Halcyon String Quartet, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 30, at the Rockport Opera House on 6 Central Street in Rockport.
This event marks the launch of the Rockport Climate Resilience Hub, a new resource aimed at helping the community understand climate challenges and take meaningful action. The Halcyon String Quartet, a Midcoast artist collective, has been commissioned to interpret data from Rockport's climate vulnerability assessments and greenhouse gas inventory through music.
Following the performance, there will be a panel discussion featuring local Midcoast resilience practitioners and volunteers, who will share their stories of climate actions in the region. The event will conclude with a networking happy hour to encourage conversation and strengthen community connections.
"We want everyone to feel encouraged to take part in climate action, no matter their background or skills," said Meggan Dwyer of the Rockport Conservation Commission. "By combining data with music, we hope to make climate issues more accessible and inspire community involvement in ways that resonate with a wider audience."
