In collaboration with Festival of the Mind - A musical meditation on nature and landscape.

An immersive and multi-sensory experience; the language of birds is translated for solo piano and illuminated by bold new visuals from Sheffield-based design team Human.

From the brightly insistent call of the sky lark to the menacing tones of the tawny owl, each piece of Olivier Messiaen’s Catalogue d’Oiseaux observes one of 77 bird species in their natural habitats.

The adventure through science, music, nature and imagination is led by Tim Birkhead (ornithologist, author and Professor of Behavioural Ecology at the University of Sheffield), with Noah Kang performing Messiaen’s masterpiece.
