The Knoxville Choral Society (KCS) will perform Christopher Tin's The Lost Birds: An Extinction Elegy, Friday, March 1st, 7:30pm at Central Bearden Baptist Church in Knoxville. Led by Dr. John Orr, the choral society will be joined by members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. Additionally, the concert will feature solo performances from the 2023-2024 KCS Scholarship winners, Gracie Webb, Kevin Spooner, and Adrian Peña.
The Lost Birds incorporates poetry by Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Sara Teasdale. It not only serves as a musical memorial to bird species that have become extinct, but also as a warning about our own fragile existence on this planet. Tin is a multi-Grammy award-winning composer of film and video-game soundtracks. His music is sweeping, romantic, dramatic, and cinematic.
