2009 Lyceum Series - Celebrate our Natural World:
Artists Who Are Inspired by the Environment
Kicking off this year’s Lyceum Series on Saturday, January 17, at 7:00 p.m. is singer/songwriter/world traveler Steven Wiseman. Steven will perform his beautiful music, inspired by the sounds of nature. Wiseman was a 2001 participant in the prestigious Artist in Residence program at Rocky Mountain National Park. A long-time environmentalist, he uses the beauty of nature to inspire the music he writes and performs. Steven's main objective with his music is to promote peace and protection of our environment.
As a long time friend of the late John Denver, Steven became very sensitive to the importance of the preservation of our earth. He has donated hundreds of hours to share his music and raise awareness about the sounds of nature.
The theme of the 2009 Lyceum Series is “Celebrate our Natural World: Artists Who Are Inspired by the Environment.” This year’s series has a cultural focus. The presentations will highlight how the natural world influences and inspires artists. Artists of all types: singers, musicians, painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, performance artists, writers, quilters and photographers will be involved in this year’s Lyceum.
The Lyceum schedule runs from January 17 to May 16, 2009. Financial support for the lyceum series is provided by the park’s nonprofit partner, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association. Programs are free and open to the public. They are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center auditorium in Rocky Mountain National Park.
