Pre-Concert Discussion at 7:00 pm

Northern Arizona Audubon Society

Caroline Morgan, guest presenter

Presented as part of Flagstaff ARTx Festival: Art + Ideas Experience

NAU ensembles present an ecological concert in the stunning acoustic and gallery of Coconino Center of the Arts, opening with J. S. Bach’s festive Gloria in excelsis (Cantata 191). Christopher Tin’s GRAMMY-nominated work The Lost Birds forms the centerpiece of this concert experience, with poetry by women writing during the Industrial Revolution. With music that pulls at our heartstrings, this experience invites us to engage with aviary beauty, the changing natural world around us, and our potential human response.

As part of Flagstaff’s ARTx Festival, this concert is offered FREE. Gallery doors open at 6:30 pm, and early arrival is recommended to enjoy the migration exhibit, “EVER PRESENT: Guillermo Galindo & José Luis Sotero, and to secure seating.
