What's you favorite bird sound? Ours is a coo (both pigeons and chickens coo when you feed them birdseed ❤). The Music Department hosts BORBS for an improvisational musical performance, followed by a brief Q&A session. Come have a hoot with us! This is a FREE, *all-ages performance. *Please note that there are unexpected and strange sounds throughout the performance which children will have a variety of reactions to.
Registration: Registration is recommended but not required. Reserve your seat today on our Google Form.

BORBS is dedicated to the birds in their awe inspiring nature, their terror, their beauty. This band utilizes sound schemas, gesture-codes, and light compositional thoughts as an organizing operandi. The sonic world is a mythical transduction of our ever-depleting/degrading/transforming natural spaces. While we never play compositions per say, nor do we ever stay in a particular mood for a long time, it seems very clear that sunset has a certain sound to it, the blistering afternoon heat, the deep winter morning. There are characters. We may be constantly redefining ourselves but we are most distinctly stars in the sky. If you trapped us in an elevator you would hear the words, "Kabuki Theater meets the Art Ensemble meets Jurassic Park."
BORBS first album, which came out spring of this year, can be found on Bandcamp: https://wishfulfillmentrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/motivic-consciousness
