Murmuration Choir: The Birds and Some Bees - SOLD OUT
An audio/visual collaboration between Bristol’s Murmuration Choir and wildlife filmmakers Martin Dohrn and Steve White. Martin is currently filming for a documentary project on bird murmurations. Wanting to show his often spectacular footage on a big screen, there seemed an obvious synergy to bring it together with a live soundtrack from the choir. Editor Steve White has created a series of short films especially for this event.
The choir will perform existing songs from their repertoire as well as new songs chosen to reflect the avian theme of the visuals. There will be iconic murmurating starlings and some extraordinary Bees from Martin’s award winning film ‘My Garden of A Thousand Bees’ (featuring a previous collaboration with the choir), building to a finale with the dazzling murmurations of winter waders from The Wash estuary in Norfolk.
Support will be an improvised piano performance by the choir’s Jakob op den Brouw with visuals by Steve White.
Performance starts at 8pm
