EDEN and The Lost Birds Build a Bridge Back to Nature with Stunning Voices

A growing unease about humans’ tenuous relationship with nature settles in as storms ravaged the Bay Area in the past week. We are faced with the task of reckoning with the damage that humans have wreaked on the environment and finding a symbiosis between ourselves and nature. Two upcoming performances at Stanford Live, EDEN and The Lost Birds, celebrate the power of human voices to strengthen our connection to nature and to each other. Art addressing environmental issues runs the risk of ringing empty, but these two performances take advantage of music’s emotive resonance to mourn all that we have lost and awaken audiences to hope within.
