05/22/2025Description: 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.
