Earth Unwrapped: The Lost Birds - VOCES8 & Carducci Quartet

Join VOCES8, scholars, Carducci Quartet and pianist Christopher Glynn for an evening paying tribute to bird species driven to extinction by humankind, through Christopher Tin’s work ‘The Lost Birds’.

The Lost Birds is a musical memorial. Sweeping and elegiac, it’s a haunting tribute to those soaring flocks that once filled our skies, but whose songs have since been silenced. It’s a celebration of their feathered beauty: their symbolism as messengers of hope, peace, and renewal. But it’s also a warning about our own tenuous existence on the planet: that the fate that befell these once soaring flocks foreshadows our own extinction.
