The Company of Trees: A Celebration of Words and Music celebrates our long and complex relationship with the forest world through literature and music. Using some of the great poetry, prose, music and song that trees have inspired over the centuries, the show explores their emotional, aesthetic, environmental and philosophical impact on our daily lives.

The Company of Trees will journey through the natural cycle from planting to maturity and will entertain, inform, provoke and, above all, raise awareness of a relationship now facing unprecedented threat.

The Company of Trees will be performed by Michael James Ford, Susannah De Wrixon and Kyle Hixon in collaboration with the Delmaine String Quartet. It will also feature striking photographic and video images by Brendan Keogh.

“If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.” Hal Borland
