#### Music and Poetry Performances

Join HMNH for a special afternoon of music and poetry that celebrates birds as symbols of freedom, beauty, and wonderment. Listen to original songs composed by Andrew List and performed by mezzo-soprano Krista River and pianist George Lopez, enjoy bird-inspired poetry by Mary Pinard, and learn about local birds from Wayne Petersen, director of the Massachusetts Audubon’s Important Bird Area Program. *On the Wing* offers an original way to appreciate birds’ unique vocalizations and behavior and to reflect on bird conservation and ecological stewardship.
