Music in a Burning World

John Luther Adams photo

Motivated by a deep concern for the state of the earth and the future of humanity, the Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy Award-winning composer John Luther Adams explores how music can do more than politics to change the world.

Motivated by a deep concern for the state of the earth and the future of humanity, the Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy Award-winning composer John Luther Adams brings the sense of wonder we experience outdoors into the concert hall with the hope, and belief, that music can do more than politics to change the world.

The Parker Quartet will perform Adams’s The Wind in High Places, and the composer will engage in conversation with Boston Globe classical music critic Jeremy Eichler.
