Celebration Hall at Mountain View Cemetery
Songs For a Lost Pod is a song cycle for eight voices combining scientific research, orca vocalizations and marine mammal history. Told from the perspective of various whale species, the songs explore themes of inter-species communication, inter-generational trauma and grief for a polluted planet.
Songs For a Lost Pod highlights separation—both animal and human—to one another and to the natural world, and seeks reconnection through musical communication.
