The ECSO’s 2022-23 season at the Garde Arts Center will conclude on an environmental note—to mark Earth Day, first celebrated on April 22, 1970.

The works to be performed include: Felix Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage of 1828, set to the same poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as Beethoven’s earlier cantata; Claude Debussy’s impressionistic La mer (The Sea) of 1905; and Iranian Canadian composer Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum Spricht (Every Tree Speaks), commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra for its celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday in 2020.
