The Conference of Birds is a performing group of musicians and dancers at the cutting edge of the interface between Art and Science.
Dedicated to the development of the artistic use of birdsong, The Conference of Birds aims to bring this rich but elusive treasure trove of inspiration further into public consciousness through colourful and accessible multi-media performances at the highest level, involving music, dance, costumes and cinematic projections.
The Core members of The Conference of Birds are:
Peter Cowdrey (Composer, Pianist and Ornithologist)
Liz Cowdrey (Violin)
Jennifer Raven (Flute and Education Projects)
Helka Kaski (Dancer and Choreographer)
Other musicians who have performed with the The Conference of Birds include singers Linda Hirst and Eleanor Briggs and Brazilian cellist Diego Carneiro, with whom the group travelled to Amazonia in December 2009.
