“FOR THE BIRDS” CONCERT

Live music, images, and poetry invite reflection on our changing climate.

For the Birds features a jazz quintet performing the original music of Seattle pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett. But this is not just a concert. The performance engages the power of artistic expression — live music, spoken words, images and poetry — to connect audiences deeply and emotionally to the scientific realities of climate change. Ultimately this is a story of hope, and audiences leave the performance feeling empowered to take meaningful action.

Why birds? Birds are a part of our daily life experience, and an inspiring connection to the natural world. But climate change is having a significant and alarming impact on many bird species, and this should be a wake-up call for all of us.

You will learn things you didn't know about birds and about climate change and what you can do about it. Eye opening and uplifting.

For the Birds is really truly a powerful, powerful piece. We humans of course are affected by amazing works of art in the moment, when we are listening or viewing. But “For the Birds” has stayed with me for days. It landed very deeply with me and I know it did with others as well.
