Carley performs with Grammy-nominated True Concord Voices & Orchestra in the world premiere of Jake Runestad’s Earth Symphony.
The past year and a half have exposed many issues that humans are dealing with, but composer Jake Runestad asks, “What is the most pressing, most urgent issue of our time? Climate change.”
To tackle this, Runestad and poet Todd Boss approach the issue of climate change through the voice of Mother Earth. We are her children; of her but hurting her. The work takes us into her thoughts as she expresses pride in her children’s accomplishments, growth and creation of art. But the smoke-filled heavens, melting ice, rising seas and flooded cities are showing us what we are doing to her.
