For the Birds - Jazz, Birds, Climate Change

[Alex Jeffers]

Hey all,

Seattle Pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett reached out about a concert she is playing at Firehouse on March 29. Description below. Seems like it would be of interest to some folks in this group. 

Nelda Swiggett Quintet | For the Birds
Live music, images and poetry invite reflection on our changing climate

Firehouse Arts and Events Center in Fairhaven on March 29 from 4-6 pm

"For the Birds" features the original music of award-winning Seattle pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett. But this is not just a concert. The performance engages the power of artistic expression — live music, spoken words, images and poetry — to connect audiences emotionally to the scientific realities of climate change through the lens of birds. Ultimately a story of hope, audiences leave the performance feeling empowered to take meaningful action.

The band is:
Nelda Swiggett (piano)
Kate Olson (sax)
Clif Swiggett (trombone)
Chris Symer (bass)
Adam Kessler (drums)

Thanks Alex.
