"This short work for three violins takes its inspiration from the mesmerising sight of a flock of migrating starlings in flight.

A murmuration consists of thousands of birds, creating ever-changing patterns as the birds swoop, soar and change direction in a mass of connected movement.

This piece is dedicated to its première performers Helene Pohl, Nikki Chooi and Alexander Pavlovsky." ~ Leonie Holmes.
