The world is at a critical moment of conversation and action around protecting the climate, the natural world and the beings that share our planet.

City of London Sinfonia and Professor James Sparks explore the fundamental patterns of life on this earth, and the beauty and inspirations they enable – through the work of two great musicians, Béla Bartók and John Adams.

Shimmering Interference

Smith Square Hall

Join City of London Sinfonia and science communicator, climate physicist, and author Dr Simon Clark on a journey across the globe from pole to pole, taking in the freezing desolation of the tundra, the scorching heat of the desert, and the humid claustrophobia of the tropics. The soundtrack to your adventure will be a selection of classical pieces representing the cloud formations we encounter as we make our way from the Antarctica to the Arctic. Revisit old favourites such as Vivaldi’s Summer invoking the altocumulus castellanus – small individual fluffy clouds home in the tropics, which look cute but can warn of thunderstorms, with dynamic lightning.
