Program Notes

Living and Loving in the Times of Code Red is a musical project aimed at bringing attention to the impact that the climate emergency has had on those who have and will live through it. The IPCC has declared “Code Red for Humanity” as the people of Earth begin to face the havoc that man made climate change entails. The music that you will hear throughout this program is about the challenges associated with living through the climate emergency, what contributes to the problems, and encouraging everyone to make an effort to contribute to the end of the climate crisis. Only by focusing our combined efforts on ending this crisis, will we be successful in securing our own future and a better future for all humanity.
