The Pleasure of the Dawn Chorus: Preserving the Pandemic Soundscape

A musical exploration of conservation and our connection to nature.

Throughout the year, students have recorded birdsong, on campus, in parks, and in backyards, and wrote reflections on the meaning of nature awareness. These recordings and reflections have inspired a musical composition, written and performed by students from the Faculty of Music. This online lecture recital features a premiere performance of the composition, and reflections by faculty and students upon nature and music, nature and spirituality, and urban wildlife conservation.
