Signs of Life: Musical Performance with Wildlife Images at Peter Strauss Ranch

I saw this and was immediately intrigued. What could beat setting music to photos taken in the Santa Monica Mountains for research purposes?

We'll be at the Peter Strauss Ranch. Parking and the event are free, but follow the link below to grab a ticket so the staff can see how many will attend. Watch for updates, as the Ranch seems like a great location for a picnic dinner.

Here's a summary from the event site (shown below):

Join this free musical performance where music meets wildlife research. Hosted by National Park Service, Western National Parks, and Santa Monica Mountains Fund, this live musical performance features wildlife research images. After the performance, a short panel discussion between musicians and park staff will highlight some of the research and work hosted by the park.
