Arctic Tern Celebration On Friday May 2 (2025) in Ford Hall at 7 pm, Ithaca College presents an evening of music inspired by birds, myth and nature. The shared program features Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and Treble Chorus.
Conducted by Christopher Coletti and Ho-Yin Kwok, CCE selections include John Luther Adams' delicate Wood thrush and Leo Brouwer's powerful Los Negros Brujos Se Divierten. In the second half of the program, Treble Chorus, conducted by Sean Linfors, is joined by soprano Rachel Schutz, tenor Omar Najmi and string faculty (Faran, Kwok, Armbrust, Hesselink and Jarvis) to present the world premiere of Sally McCune's dramatic Stella Maris, Stella Caeli, Sterna Paradisaea. A semi-staged work with text by Orkney poet Yvonne Gray, the 30-minute cantata celebrates the Arctic Tern, an adept but now threatened survivor in a rapidly changing world. The production features choreography by Amy O'Brien and projections by Ben Robinson. A pre-concert talk on Arctic Terns will be offered by ornithologist Stephen W. Kress at 6 pm in Hockett Family Recital Hall. Not to be missed!

Today we had our FOY Chipping Sparrow on the ground at our feeders. Also had a Meadowlark singing toward the back of our property, which is very uncommon on our 5 acres. We are surrounded by agricultural fields, but Meadowlarks do not find them suitable. Yesterday we had our FOY Phoebe.
