The Hermes Experiment: The Migration of Birds

Take flight with ornithologist Peter Holden, artist Andy Holden and quartet The Hermes Experiment in a layered live experience exploring the migration of birds. In this performance, ornithologist Peter Holden’s lifetime of field knowledge and four decades of photography meet the imaginative visual world of artist Andy Holden and the musical ingenuity of contemporary quartet The Hermes Experiment. Every year, birds cross oceans and continents on journeys that continue to astonish scientists. But almost half (45%) of the world’s migratory bird species are now in decline, according to a new assessment from BirdLife International , which warns that one in nine migratory species is threatened with extinction.
