Birdsong is a four-event series exploring the connections between music, birds, listening, and the natural world. Audiences are invited to experience birdsong from different perspectives —from listening to birds in their own habitats to discovering how composers and artists have translated the sounds and presence of birds into music. Together, the events encourage us to listen more closely to the more-than-human world and reconsider our relationship with the environments and species around us.

🗓️ September 12 and 13
📍 UVic and across Victoria

Presented as part of Climate and the Arts Celebrating Gaia 2026 Series and the SALT New Music Festival 2026. Admission by donation.
