»METAMORPHOSIS« Change For Nature
VHS Kaiserslautern Benefit Concert
MARCH 6, 2025 7:30 PM
MUFFATHALLE, MUNICH
A MULTIMEDIA CONCERT EXPERIENCE
Pernambuco is the name of a type of wood that is probably unknown to most people, and yet many people around the world have come into contact with it: this wood is the material from which high-quality bows for string instruments have been made for hundreds of years. The deforestation of Brazil's coastal rainforests has seriously endangered the survival of the pernambuco tree. With this concert, the Münchner Philharmoniker would like to draw attention to a our Brasilien-Project, a reforestation project to preserve the pernambuco tree and protect one of the most species-rich regions on earth.
The chamber concert "Metamorphosis" represents the change that nature is undergoing due to human influence and the need to rethink in order to preserve our earth as a habitat. With large-scale projections and light installations by video artist Christoph Brech, the chamber concert with works by Richard Strauss, John Adams and Ludwig van Beethoven becomes a multimedia concert experience.
