2/26 Classical Music and Climate Change
Join Classical IPR's music director Amanda Sewell for a look at how composers and classical musicians in the 21st century are addressing issues related to climate change. From pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi's performance of his "Elegy for the Arctic" on a melting glacier in Norway to initiatives such as the German Orchestra of Change promoting sustainable reforestation techniques in Madagascar, we'll consider several recent projects at the intersection of climate change and classical music.
