About Ben Cosgrove
Described by the Boston Globe as “a sonic plein-air painter… [using] his piano as a paintbrush,” Ben Cosgrove has performed in every U.S. state except Delaware, collaborated with groups ranging from rock bands to research scientists, contributed music to several radio and film projects (including the recent Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo), and held residencies and fellowships with institutions including NASA, Acadia National Park, White Mountain National Forest, Isle Royale National Park, Harvard University, Middlebury College, the New England National Scenic Trail, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, and the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology.

Ben Cosgrove’s residency at the Connecticut River Museum is supported by the Wolf Kahn Foundation.
