Silent Spring, 2019

Silent Spring Sackville/Siknit, 2019

A Choral Performance in the Sackville Waterfowl Park
Directed by Lou Sheppard (Artist in Residence, Struts & Faucet) & Pamela Hart (The Forever Chorus, Montreal) 

Our choir will perform the songs of ten bird species who’s population is missing or declining in the Sackville area. Spectrograms are sound images-visual recordings of frequency and duration in a sound. To create Silent Spring: Sackville/Siknikt Lou Sheppard has arranged the spectrograms as a graphic score, and then translated this score into a choral arrangement to be sung into the marsh.
