Flora and Fauna

Not surprisingly, the natural world is a never-ending source of
fascination and inspiration for composers.


From the datura plant in southern China to a rare bird in the
wilds  of Australia to strange animals that exist only in
the composer’s  imagination, we’ll feature music inspired by
the boundless creativity of  nature.
