Tacony creek suite

composed & arranged by professor randy j. gibson

The songs of Tacony Creek Suite are the monumental output and genuine creative reflections of Olney-based composer, performer and educator, Professor Randy Gibson. They are compositions that reflect on his deepening awareness and exposure to the beauty and travails of an under-appreciated urban green space that comprises Tacony Creek Park.  The artistic work began under a seed grant from the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, courtesy of the Joseph Robert Foundation. Expansion of that work into a complete song cycle has been manifested through The Olney Embrace Project, underwritten by Olney Culture Lab with support from the William Penn Foundation.

You can listen samples of the seven songs that comprise the Suite below.  The CD album of Tacony Creek Suite is available as a gift for a $15 tax-deductible donation to Olney Culture Lab. Click here to donate.

The broadcast of the documentary film and live performance debut of the Suite is on our YouTube channel. You can watch it right here!
