Modern classical ensemble Third Angle New Music is kicking off its 2019-20 season on a down note. Titled In Wildness, the program the group has put together will be, as artistic director Sarah Tiedemann wrote in a recent blog post, “about the poles, the sea, the glaciers, and the myriad creatures depending on us to protect a planet that belongs to them, too. It is about the point where art and science meet…” The timing for this concert is close to perfect. There are calls for a general strike later this month to demand an end to the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, and on September 23, the UN will hold a Climate Action Summit that might make some headway towards pulling the globe away from an irreversible tipping point. And, lest we forget, the Bahamas and the southeastern US are still recovering from the damage wrought by Hurricane Dorian, a storm whose increased strength was fueled by warmer air temperatures and rising sea levels.
