Unsung - If the Earth Could Sing is a multi-movement environmentally inspired choral work for SSAA choir, percussion, and cello with music by Katerina Gimon and text by Lauren Peat. This work , commissioned by Myriad, centers around the question “if the earth could sing, what would it tell us?”. The environmental crisis has been called the “biggest threat modern humans have ever faced” (United Nations, 2021) and Unsung aims to shed light on its impacts on Canadian landscapes, using choral music as a form of advocacy and a voice for change.
Hurricane focuses on how climate change is worsening hurricane impacts on the East Coast by increasing the intensity and decreasing the speed at which they travel. Scientists are currently uncertain whether there will be a change in the number of hurricanes, but they are certain that the intensity and severity of hurricanes will continue to increase. We hope this piece shines light on this important issue, and gives you an opportunity to reflect on the importance of protecting our planet to ensure a sustainable and healthy future for all.
