The prolific British vocal ensemble VOCES8 champions a sense of care and clarity in their performances that has garnered them global acclaim. In this live world premiere of a new work by Stanford alum and two-time Grammy–winning composer Christopher Tin, VOCES8 explores the ecological perils of extinction through elegy. Sweeping and plaintive, The Lost Birds is a haunting memorial to bird species driven to extinction by humankind and a warning about our own tenuous existence on the planet. VOCES8 will be joined by Friction Quartet and pianist Keisuke Nakagoshi.

Five bronze Lost Birds sculptures by Todd McGrain are available to see throughout the Stanford Arts District. Click here to learn more.
