This concert is all about love for the beauty of nature and all its creatures and the dangers of abusing the earth and all that inhabit it. The musical works in this concert explore the songs of the creatures of the sea, in Nancy Telfer’s ‘The Blue Eye of God,’ as well as the majestic sweep of the desert in Maggi Payne’s ‘Desertscapes’.
