Join us to see what our artists in residency have been working on.

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. Performances will take place May 2 (Galiano Island), May 3 (Burnaby), and May 10 (Victoria).
