Composer-Performer Majel Connery Presents: Elderflora

Elderflora is a 60-minute electro-acoustic song cycle on the life and death of a tree. Created by composer-performer Majel Connery and performed by Connery and Felix Fan (cello), Elderflora crosses Classical harmonies and electronic soundscapes to evoke the tree’s inner world. Narrated from the tree’s perspective, Elderflora invites us on a journey inside the mind of nature, experiencing the tree’s thoughts and feelings in vivid detail.
Elderflora blends old sounds with new technology, with snatches of madrigals and hymns blowing through electronic soundscapes like wind through leaves. Structured as a series of 10 musical portraits, each movement represents a significant moment in the life of the tree: birth by fire, the first taste of water, and nature’s most dangerous proposition: becoming a mother.
