Be still; a soon-to-be Mother is building her nest. An imaginative sound world draws you in as a female “Anna’s Hummingbird,” prepares for new life.
hum is a new pollinator-oriented micro-opera, blending electronics, vocals, and poetry en plein air. Soprano Anna Bigland-Pritchard (Gay4Nature Collective’s Green, Rick Waines’ i am beauty, and looping project rose house) and composer Jami Reimer (Soft Tongues, and Here You Are Singing) are building a sonic & visual nest to nurture & delight.
An initial May 2026 tour is possible thanks to funding from Canada Council for the Arts, a residency at the Yellow House Art Centre, and an invitation to perform at Burnaby Blooms.
The Victoria performances will be held at the Gorge Waterway Nature House on Sunday, May 10 at 1:00pm and 2:00pm.
