A kind of alchemy occurred when Composer Paula Matthusen, Musicians from the Knights, and Ornithologist Andy Farnsworth collaborated on making the whole world a sky. Amidst a repertory inspired by birdsongs, listeners will find themselves in the presence of birds resurrected on early vinyl recordings or in migratory flights revisited through radio signals. Bringing together birdsong and music, the concert rhapsodically joins these two worlds, opening up a past and present in harmony with birdsong.
