One of South Florida's most renowned chamber orchestras was so impressed by a multimedia symphony exploring the impact of climate change that its upcoming season will have an environmental theme.
Between this coming weekend and April 2023, each of the four concerts for the Symphonia's "Inspired Naturally" series will be named after one of the elements: Fire, Earth, Wind and Water -- in that order.
The series is based on "Terra Nostra" an award-winning, multimedia symphony about climate change. It's composed by Christophe Chagnard and accompanied by a film by Charlie Spears.
"This combination of stunning visuals and incredibly powerful music is used to explore the impact and challenges of climate change," says Annabel Russell, The Symphonia's Executive Director.
Next month, the Symphonia will present the world premiere of the chamber orchestra version of "Terra Nostra" -- with the original video as a backdrop.
