New Music Show: COP 26 Special

Description

As the world gathers in Glasgow for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Cop26), seeking to bring about closer and binding agreements on action required to tackle the major environmental issues we face, the New Music Show will be in Glasgow too, seeking to reflect on how music can respond.

Featuring artists who have brought climate and our earth into the heart of their work, we hear performances from composer and vocalist Laura Bowler and flautist Ruth Morley, electro-acoustic composer and sound artist Annie Mahtani, pianist and composer Xenia Pestova-Bennett with her Magnetic Resonator Piano and the Ligeti Quartet perform John Luther Adams' The Wind in High Places with an introduction recorded by the composer for the New Music Show tonight.

In tonight's Sounding Change, there's another chance to hear sonic artist Raven Chacon reflect on the way the natural world is filtered through his own work and the works of others.

Presented by Kate Molleson.
