Bowerbird Collective: Earth Emotions | Music and Philosophy for Nature
1 February @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEDT

‘Earth Emotions’ combines a deeply moving program of music with spoken word to reveal a path from disconnection to connection with nature, instilling hope for a better future. The performance features incredible compositions performed by the Bowerbird Collective, featuring Simone Slattery on violin, Anthony Albrecht on cello and narrated by environmental philosopher, Professor Glenn Albrecht.
Over the past two decades, Professor Albrecht has introduced many new words for our new world, providing us names for our Earth Emotions, both positive and negative, and empowering us with the vision of a return to harmony with nature.
This performance guides the listener from negative Earth Emotions, such as ‘solastalgia’, to the positive, ‘soliphilia’, and ultimately into a future of reconnection with nature that can be collectively imagined into existence, the ‘Symbiocene’.
‘Earth Emotions’ is a vital philosophical reflection and thrilling musical exploration of our place in the web of life.
