Matthew Ottignon invites listeners on a journey that celebrates the beauty of birds, both in their physical flight and as symbols of freedom.
The music moves effortlessly from moments of anthemic heroism, with Ottignon’s fiery tenor at the fore, to lyrical melodies and intimate soundscapes, where the subtle yet confident artistry of Hayley, Hannah, and Lauren nurture the music to a place of sheer beauty.
