Clarinettist Emma Johnson founded the Orchestra for the Environment with her husband, double bass player, Chris West, in 2023 for a concert featuring her concerto Tree of Life.
The orchestra is a group of hand-picked virtuoso players who all share concerns about the environment. They endeavour to travel in the greenest way possible to concerts and they make a point of performing, alongside the classics, repertoire which draws inspiration from nature.
In this special programme for G Live Mozart's timeless Clarinet Concerto and his work of sublime genius, the Symphony No.40, are framed by Puccini's touching masterpiece, Crysanthemums, Holst's Brook Green Suite, Gershwin's delightful Walking the Dog and Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee."
