A Season on the Wind: A Cinematic Concert Celebrating Migratory Birds

May 22nd, 7:00pm | Sierra Valley Preserve + Nature Center

Featuring Majel Connery and the Bowerbird Collective
with a performance of 'Rivers are our Brothers', a song cycle by Majel Connery

Presented by Musica Sierra and the Feather River Land Trust

‘A Season on the Wind’ is a cinematic concert based on author, ornithologist and conservationist Kenn Kaufman’s book of the same name. This event is an inspiring ode to migratory birds, and an unforgettable night of musical storytelling. A musical and visual journey from the shores of Lake Erie across the Americas, this 50-minute performance stars three internationally acclaimed musicians, and features spectacular visuals and soundscapes. Created by the Bowerbird Collective, an award-winning Australian-based organization making art for nature, at the invitation of the Biggest Week in American Birding festival and Kenn Kaufman himself, the work features a newly commissioned score by the Brothers Balliett (NYC), whose music is praised by the New York Times as “vivid, emotive, with contemporary twists”.
