Hear the songs of birds reimagined afresh in a cross-cultural collaboration between British recorder virtuoso Piers Adams, leader of the celebrated baroque quartet Red Priest, and Japanese Nohkan flute maestro Yukihiro Isso.
Together they explore the sounds of birds in the baroque and Noh repertoires, including Sagi-Midare (The Heron’s Dance), and via new compositions specially composed for the festival.
