SUMMARY:"For the Birds" Concert
DESCRIPTION:“For the Birds” features a jazz quintet performing the original music of Seattle pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett. But this is not just a concert.

She is an award-winning composer and OA2 Records recording artist. Her five album releases have received rave reviews and extensive airplay around the globe.On Earth Day 2017\, Nelda debuted her first climate-themed work\, The Alaska Suite: a story of beauty\, loss and hope. This piece has been performed 36 times to date\, touching nearly 2500 people across Washington State with its message of hope and call to action. Building on the success of the Alaska Suite\, Nelda debuted her new climate piece\, For the Birds\, in September 2024. \n\n\n\nTICKET INFORMATION \n\n\n\nTickets are available by suggested donation here: https://tinyurl.com/ForTheBirdsFCCB \n\n\n\nSuggestion donation:– $20 general admission– $5 students/seniorsNo one will be turned away for lack of funds. \n\n\n\nAll proceeds from tickets sales go directly to Spark Northwest\, an organization that works at the local level across the Pacific Northwest to build equitable\, affordable clean energy through community energy programs. \n\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION:Spark Northwest: https://sparknorthwest.org/For the Birds: https://neldaswiggett.com/for-the-birds/
