The Four Seasons in the Age of Climate Change

What happens when eight classical musicians from the Merlin Ensemble Wien join forces with astrophysicist Harald Lesch? A journey through space and time. Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", composed 300 years ago, become a season ticket and an environmental pass between Earth and orbit - with a minimal carbon footprint.

Lesch and Vivaldi take us on a musical and scientific journey through time: from the formation of the Earth and its seasons to the climate crisis of today. At the end, Harald Lesch looks down from orbit at the dramatic changes to our planet and its climate - heading towards apocalypse? Current politics doesn't escape scrutiny either.
