As she writes, “Nature has long been an inspiration for composers, and indeed for all artists. What’s different now, and my drive for composing Symphony Living Breathing Earth, Ocean Calling, Ahavah (Love) and other related works, is that we can no longer take this living planet for granted.” See a video excerpt from Ocean Calling III: The Giant Blue below.
This will be presented with What Goes Around Comes Around, an art installation by Bonnie Louise Monteleone, Executive Director of Plastic Ocean Project, Inc., which is on exhibition in the School of Music library February 21-28. See a video about it below.
