Brown Bag and Birdsong: a Celebration of Nature in Music

Patti Yvonne Edwards and Elsie Pollock

Bring your lunch and join Patti Edwards and Elsie Pollock for a relaxing program of music inspired by the songs of birds. Pollock is a well-known local pianist and teacher with a deep interest in bird-watching. Pollock and Edwards have researched several songs that were inspired by the actual calls of birds, and they will demonstrate examples of transcribed calls in music by Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and John Jacob Niles.
