Black Moon Trio collaborates with New York Times Best-Selling author Michael Tyler to develop an immersive and interactive experience that invites audiences to actively engage with themes of wellness, community, and the natural world. Centered around Tyler’s Sow the Seeds: A Composition in Verse, this unique program combines the power of music, poetry, and nature to explore the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and social well-being. The performance becomes a journey where art and reflection blend seamlessly, encouraging participants to reflect on their lives and how they interact with themselves, their communities, and the environment around them.

 

Tyler’s poems are carefully crafted to plow the surface of daily living, breaking through the noise of routine to plant seeds of reflection, understanding, and personal growth. Each verse, like a seed planted in the soil, nurtures deeper meditations on life, encouraging listeners to reflect on their choices, their relationships, and the ways in which they treat both themselves and others. As the music swells and Tyler’s words take root, audiences are invited to pause and reflect on how they tend to their own well-being and their role in fostering a supportive, thriving community.
