Rehearsal for a Forest is a live improvisational sound performance by the Branching Songs Ensemble. It uses instruments created from remnants and cast-offs of local trees and plants, combined with electroacoustic techniques to ask that we listen to trees for the sake of the forests. Rehearsal for a Forest can be performed in a variety of venues.
