Eighth Blackbird's Creative Lab

Four-time Grammy winning super group Eighth Blackbird unveils
their  newest creative project: “to inspire the next
generation of performers  and composers to share in the
ensemble’s vision: to champion a  distinctive, dynamic and
engaging performance aesthetic.”


We’ll talk to the birds and this year’s participants and bring
you into the creative process as the lab comes to life.
