Georgia communities will be welcomed to a special repertoire of Alonzo King's work, including his creation, Biophony. A collaboration with Bernie Krause, the piece pays homage to earth's natural habitats, drawing on sounds from nature including Georgia's own Flint River.  In January, the Office of the Arts at Georgia Tech in Atlanta along with the Westside Cultural Alliance will host  the company for a performance and numerous outreach activities leading up to  Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
