Following our acclaimed performance of John Luther Adams’ songbirdsongs for piccolos and percussion in New York City, Le Train Bleu brings this beautiful and haunting work to the New Haven Festival of Arts and Ideas.
songbirdsongs is one of Adams’ earliest works, and it conjures up the sounds of the outdoors: water, wind and, of course, birds.
We will perform this work outdoors in New Haven’s beautiful Marsh Botanical Garden and I will be joined by Ransom Wilson, Tara O’Connor and Sandbox Percussion.
