Flore Laurentienne live in New York

Experience Flore Laurentienne live on August 7th

Flore Laurentienne will perform at The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City on August 7, 2026. Laurentienne is a French composer and performing artist whose work blends acoustic instruments – particularly harp – with electronic processing and field recordings. Her compositions often evoke natural landscapes and explore themes of memory, place, and the interplay between organic and synthetic sounds. Critics frequently describe her music as atmospheric, immersive, and drawing upon elements of contemporary classical, ambient, and experimental music.

The Whitney Museum, founded in 1930 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, is dedicated to the art of the United States. Unlike many museums focusing on historical collections, the Whitney champions living artists. Its core collection represents a comprehensive survey of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art, with a strong emphasis on emerging and underrepresented artists. The museum’s current building in the Meatpacking District, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and opened in 2015, offers expansive gallery spaces and outdoor terraces overlooking the Hudson River. The architecture itself is integral to the visitor experience, prioritizing flexibility and providing varied perspectives on the artwork displayed.
