HARALD LESCH AND »THE FOUR SEASONS IN TIMES OF CLIMATE CHANGE«

There is hardly a subject that is more urgent and relevant worldwide than climate change, and hardly an expert who deals with this subject more competently and sophisticatedly than the astro-physicist, author, science journalist and television presenter Prof. Dr. Harald Lesch, who has been an active proponent of climate protection at every level for many years. For his programme »The Four Seasons in Times of Climate Change«, featuring the music of Antonio Vivaldi, he has partnered with the Merlin Ensemble Wien. Vivaldi’s famous composition depicts the cycle of the seasons and is considered one of the earliest examples of programme music in history. On this evening, it will the flanked by highly informative stories recounted by Harald Lesch, resulting in a totally new, exciting work of art.
