Pernambuco is the name of a type of wood that very few people are probably familiar with, and yet many people around the world have come into contact with this wood: It is the material from which high-quality bows for stringed instruments have been made for hundreds of years. Due to the deforestation of Brazil's coastal rainforests, the survival of the pernambuco tree is also severely endangered. With this concert, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra would like to draw attention to a project that the associations "Orchester des Wandels" and "Eben!Holz" are launching together with the organization "SAVE Brasil": A reforestation project to preserve the pernambuco tree and protect one of the most biodiverse regions on earth.
The chamber concert "Metamorphosis" stands for the change that nature is undergoing due to human influence and for 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 will be a multimedia concert experience.
