“For the Birds” features a jazz duo performing the original music of Seattle pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett. But this is not just a concert. The performance engages the power of artistic expression — live music, spoken words, images and poetry — to connect audiences deeply and emotionally to the scientific realities of our changing climate. Ultimately a story of hope, audiences leave the performance feeling empowered to take meaningful action.

Why birds? Birds are a part of our daily life experience, and an inspiring connection to the natural world. But climate change is having a significant and alarming impact on many bird species, and this should be a wake-up call for all of us.

Featuring Nelda Swiggett (piano, vocals, compositions), Clif Swiggett (trombone, percussion), and the poetry of Jill McGrath.

“… wonderfully inspiring…. The content was informative without being preachy; the music  was magical…” — Gail M., concertgoer

“… spliced with a dialogue about climate science and solutions. It touches the emotional  edges of our understanding and invites action from a deeper place.” —Louise S.,  concertgoer

The concert is Tuesday, April 7th, at 7:00 pm at the Pocatello UU Fellowship  426 W Lewis St. Pocatello and runs for 90 minutes. Doors open at 6:30 pm. The production is free, donations are welcome. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
