‘For The Birds: The Birdsong Project’ is a collection of no less than 245 recordings featuring all kinds of music and poetry.
All proceeds from this project and its many side events will benefit The Audubon Society, an American organization dedicated to bird conservation.

From a total of 13 hours, we made a selection presented in three programs.
Part 1 was broadcast on 3 May (and still available on-demand here), and part 3 you can enjoy on 7 June (10pm).
