THE ecological-improvisation band from Philadelphia is COMING BACK to the Garden!
Performing aviary and environmentally inspired improvised music within the tradition of creative music, BORBS utilizes a vast instrumentarium drawn from jazz, classical music, world music, and everyday life (french horns, bass clarinet, homemade wood flutes, electric guitar). —Oh and did I mention that they play adorned in homemade outfits featuring giant painted bird heads!
Come at 5pm for a bird mindfulness session to get in the mood, followed by an all-improvised live performance at 6pm.
Led by Aaron Pond, BORBS has previously performed at The Discovery Center in Philadelphia, Rhizome DC, and Headlong Dance Theatre. You can listen to their music here.
