In early 2019, the idea of \u200b\u200ba musical piece was born that would portray the agony surrounding our planet’s fate: the all-too-clear, alarming and rapidly advancing climate changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the librettist Kerstin Perski<\/strong>, Karin Rehnqvist<\/strong> began to chisel out the contours of what would become the great symphonic work for choir and orchestra \u2013 Silent Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ideas took shape in a joint commission by the Dutch Radio Choir<\/strong> (Groot Omroepkoor), the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra<\/strong> (Radio Philharmonisch Orkest), and the Swedish Radio Choir<\/strong> \/ Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corona pandemic intervened and postponed the planned performances. Not until January 2022 was the world premiere in the Concertgebouw<\/strong>, Amsterdam, and in August 2022 the Swedish premiere at the Baltic Sea Festival<\/strong> in Berwaldhallen, Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
