Ecology of Being is a collection of commissioned musical works inspired by nature and the climate emergency. The music encourages reflection about our connections to this planet, considers what we are leaving the next generation and our role in the world’s rapid, alarming, and ominous changes. It pays tribute to the wonder and power of nature. Read the complete booklet notes.
