Ocean Songs

Green College writer in residence Clara Kumagai will host a musical performance by Leah Abramson, a singer and songwriter. Leah’s multidisciplinary show Songs for a Lost Pod explores human relationships with marine mammals in a polluted planet, intertwined with her own family history and generational trauma.

Leah will be accompanied by Tyson Naylor on keyboard.

This event is open to the general public and does not require registration (but please note that our seating is limited). It will be followed by a reception in the Piano Lounge, Graham House.

Leah Abramson is a songwriter, choral composer, and vocalist from Vancouver, BC. With her MFA in Creative Writing, Leah works in the liminal zone between poetry, lyrics, and music, frequently delving into research-based process and conceptual projects. She is currently interested in approaching writing and composing as a somatic, embodied process.
