Join Trotter Visiting Professor, vocalist/composer Majel Connery, for a performance of her composition Elderflora (“old trees”), which combines Connery’s own lush electronic vocal manipulations with the earthy tones of cello (played by Felix Fan). Elderflora is the story of the life of a tree. From birth by fire to death by lightning, we hear the tree’s inner narrative, told from its own perspective. Together, the two conjure a world where trees can talk to us.
