AFCM Evening Concert 2 - Christian-Pierre La Marca's 'Wonderful World' - An Orchestral Experience
Start Time: 7:30 pm I Finish Time: 9:45 pm I Doors Open: 7:10pm I Interval: 15 Min
In this humanistic ode to nature, French cellist Christian-Pierre La Marca presents a packed programme on the theme of saving the planet. Wonderful World is a project of multiple inputs, all converging on La Marca’s awareness of the need to save our planet. As he explains, “music has the ability to awaken consciences, to make people more sensitive, without trying to convince or mobilize them. Music is a short circuit that goes straight to the heart”. He is joined by AYO Momentum Ensemble, and it features incredible imagery from Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
