Kate Molleson hears from composers writing seasonal music in an era of climate change.

Kate Molleson unpacks the explosive power of Concerto No. 2 in G minor. Composer Ash Fure shares the process behind The Force of Things – An Opera in Objects, an immersive installation opera that wrestles with the rising tide of eco-grief and ecological collapse – a work that Kate likens to the destructive and dark elements of the Summer movement. Fure explains why she eschews the literal in favour of the abstract.
