Based on texts by six poets with deep relationships to the Gatineau hills - Alice-Irene Whittaker, Quinn McCart, Ilse Turnsen, Madeline Kerr, Peter Mullins, and Chris MacLean - the cycle explores the intimate and personal connections that we all feel with the birches, oaks, willows, pines, hemlocks, cedars, and elms that surround us.

To find our more about the song cycle, its creation, and the specific trees behind each poem, join Carson and the poets for a pre-concert discussion in Gwen Shea hall at 3:30pm (this is the part I'll be participating in).

This concert is part of Festival Collines en musique
