A Man Who Writes Birdsong
Director of music David Hindley has given up the comforts of academic life for the prickly hedges and fields around Cambridge. Why? Because that's where he finds the best composers! Birds live in the fast lane and what sounds like chirrup and tweet to us only reveals its amazing secrets when you slow it all down.
David has done just that and transcribed birdsong for the piano. The result is not only new music; it raises deep questions.
