Description: The Bowerbird Collective, an award-winning classical duo all the way from Australia, proudly presents ‘A Season on the Wind’ in partnership with Musica Sierra, in Beckwourth, CA on May 22 at 7.00pm. The cinematic concert 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 performance stars three internationally acclaimed, virtuoso musicians - Majel Connery (vocals), Simone Slattery (violin) and Anthony Albrecht (cello) - and features spectacular visuals and soundscapes.
'A Season on the Wind' was created by The Bowerbird Collective, an award-winning Australian-based organization making art for nature, and was first performed in the US at the invitation of the Biggest Week in American Birding festival and Kenn Kaufman, author of the book that inspired the work. It features a captivating, newly commissioned score by The Brothers Balliett (NYC), whose music is praised as “vivid, emotive, with contemporary twists”.
Also featured on the program is 'The Rivers are our Brothers', a song cycle by Majel Connery on ecological responsibility told from the point of view of the land. Commissioned by Musica Sierra and created in partnership with Learning Landscapes, an educational program of the Feather River Land Trust, the songs in the cycle take a first-person view of nature, ascribing human qualities and feelings to elements of the landscape: water, trees, mountains, and rivers.

Returning June 16th through 21st, classic motorcycles and their owners will arrive at the Plumas Sierra County Fairgrounds for the International Norton Owners Association (INOA) 2025 Feather River Rally III. This is the third time the INOA rally will enjoy the perfect setting of Quincy. In 1996, and again in 2016, over three hundred Norton and British motorcycle enthusiasts arrived in Quincy from across North America and around the world to share their interest in these classic motorcycles. This year’s attendees are thrilled at the opportunity to return and once again experience the finest roads, sights, and hospitality the Sierra Nevada Mountains have to offer.
Hosted by the Northern California Norton Owners Club (NCNOC), a chapter of the INOA, this year’s rally welcomes ALL classic and vintage motorcycles and motorcycle enthusiasts. Featured events include "tech talks", group rides, field events, and a swap meet. A highlight of the week is the concours show where rare and unique motorcycles will compete for awards. The concours is open for public viewing. Everyone who attends can cast their votes for best-in-class "Roadster", "Interstate", "Fastback", and many other classes of Norton, British, European, American, and Japanese motorcycles.
Group rides explore the best local roads to great destinations in Plumas County: Bucks Lake, La Porte, Graeagle, Downieville, and more. Keep an eye out mid-week when over one hundred motorcycles parade west through Quincy on their way to the beautiful Lake Almanor basin.
Classic motorcycle owners are friendly, and love to talk about their motorcycles. When you see them be sure to strike up a conversation!
