THE ecological improvisation band from Philadelphia is coming to the Garden!
Performing aviary and environmentally inspired improvised music within the tradition of creative music, BORBS utilizes a vast instrumentarium drawn from jazz, classical music, world music, and everyday life (french horns, bass clarinet, homemade wood flutes, electric guitar). —Oh and did I mention that they play adorned in homemade outfits featuring giant painted bird heads!
Our Sunday evening special with BORBS will include a birding mindfulness lesson from 5-6pm followed by a musical performance from 6-7:30pm.
Led by Aaron Pond, BORBS has previously performed at The Discovery Center in Philadelphia, Rhizome DC, and Headlong Dance Theatre. You can listen to their music here.
