We listen beyond ourselves.

In partnership with Bird Alliance of Oregon, For the Birds invites you to reconsider music and our relationship with the natural world.

Featuring our 2026–27 commissioning composer Judy A. Rose, photography by naturalist Ethan Allred, Edie Hill’s poignant masterwork Spectral Spirits—a tribute to endangered and extinct birds, alongside works by Caroline Shaw and others.

The program explores birdsong, migration, and the fragile interconnectedness between humans and the ecosystems we inhabit.
