Sustainable Idaho: An Arc of Beauty, Loss, Hope, and Action: "For The Birds" Concert

On today’s episode, Madison talks with Nelda and Clif Swiggett about their original jazz concert, For The Birds. As an artistic expression of beauty, loss, hope, and action, the audience is engaged in a blend of live music, spoken words, poetry, and images. While her first climate concert, The Alaska Suite: a story of beauty, loss and hope, focused on the Arctic, Nelda has used birds as her messenger this time. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology states that nearly three billion birds have disappeared since 1970. In fact, the North America bird population has decreased by 2.9 billion breeding adults in every biome. The Swiggettes’ For the Birds concert tour will include 15 free performances across the United States. More details are available here: https://neldaswiggett.com/for-the-birds/.
