Programme Note
Tobias PM Schneid‘s "Earth Symphony" is not a glorifying hymn to planet earth, but a large-scale orchestral outcry, a beacon to draw attention in the concert hall to the precarious climate situation and the urgency of a conscious and mindful use of the planet's resources. The five movements of the symphony - Magma/Water/Tree/Desert/Air - each comment in their own way on the "unhinged" nature of our ecosystem and thematise the processes of decomposition to which this system is exposed through human activity. Not a musical eco-thriller, but a memorial with the intended call to act responsibly.
