The Four Seasons in Climate Change

What happens when eight musicians from Merlin Ensemble Wien take the stage together with astrophysicist Harald Lesch? A journey through space and time. Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", composed 300 years ago, serve as the starting point - as an annual ticket and environmental pass between Earth and orbit, with minimal carbon footprint.

Lesch and Vivaldi take the audience on a musical-scientific journey through time: from the formation of Earth and its seasons to present-day climate change. In the end, Harald Lesch looks down from orbit at the dramatic changes to our climate - towards apocalypse? Current political events are not spared either.
