The first in a series of cross-concerts mixing Early Music with presentations from a wide variety of non-musical disciplines. Early Music is our passion, and we will invite guest presenters to share their passions and interests!
In this concert, Apeiron will be joined by the hosts of ArtSoundFM's "Poetry on the Radio" (Kimberly Williams and Peter Searles) as well as local poets (Penelope Layland and Jacqui Malins) to present poems from the newly published "Book of Birds" alongside music from the Baroque and Classical eras.

"I wasn’t sure what to expect of this concert with a blend of poetry and music but I found it wonderful. The poetry readers transported us to many different bird places with the poems and the music was delightful, as always. Thank you for your concerts this year and I look forward to seeing what 2024 holds!"
"I'll definitely be back for more of your music in 2024!"
