Program Note:
Climate change is one of the most urgent issues we are facing today. Global warming is rapidly changing the face of this planet in irreversible ways and we only have a finite amount of time before there is nothing we can do to fix the damage that has been done to our planet and the human race. In order to avoid the calamity that is a result of climate change, we must make major changes to our political and economic systems.
This piece is meant to reflect the urgency of the issue, and to also represent the tragedy that has occurred due to climate change. The tape track includes sounds of glaciers melting and breaking apart, sounds from the Arctic sea, and voices of climate activists like Greta Thunberg. We must never become complacent, and we must always be fighting for a healthier planet before it’s too late.
