The Carmel Bach Festival is excited to expand its activities beyond the July festival with a special concert, “A Season on the Wind,” which celebrates the epic migration of North American birds, performed by The Bowerbird Collective, a stellar musical ensemble from Australia that “makes art for nature.” They combine live music, spectacular visuals, and immersive soundscapes to tell nature stories.

A Season on the Wind: Music for Migratory Birds

Carmel High School

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.”

Transformer Station

Ruckus is a “shapeshifting” Baroque band with a fresh, visceral approach to early music, formed by some of today’s leading soloists of this repertoire. Their collaboration with acclaimed English-American flutist Emi Ferguson, recorded for Ruckus’s acclaimed debut album, Fly The Coop, is a joyous, kaleidoscopic romp through some of Bach’s most playful and transcendent works. Savor these new arrangements of Bach’s flute sonatas and keyboard preludes that explode his bass lines into a rainbow of textures and colors, continually shifting like light over the landscape as Ferguson’s flute lines dance above.
