The Cleveland Museum of Art proudly presents the Cleveland premiere of “A Season on the Wind,” 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. An artistic 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 Australia-based organization making art for nature, at the invitation of the Biggest Week in American Birding festival and Kaufman himself, the work highlights a newly commissioned score by the Brothers Balliett (NYC), whose music is praised by The New York Times as “vivid, emotive, with contemporary twists.”
Also included on the program is Rivers Are Our Brothers, a song cycle 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 including water, trees, mountains, and rivers. You can stream the cycle on Apple Music, Spotify, or Bandcamp.
