In the summer of 2019, composer Randy Gibson took a stroll through Philadelphia’s Tacony Creek Park with his wife, Wilhelmina. Although Gibson has been operating his own music school for 25 years nearby in Olney, he wasn’t familiar with the creek or the park until the Olney Culture Lab asked him to write music in response to it.
His set of seven songs, the Tacony Creek Suite being released this month, is an ode to the placid and turbulent moods of the creek, and to the oasis of tranquility it could become.
