Glistening snow, singing birds, the subtlety of the rose, dark night with shining stars – some composers turned the mysteries of nature into sound of songs. The Earth Song programme with works by Philip Glass, Morten Lauridsen, Ola Gjeilo, Edward Elgar and Eric Whitacre will be presented at the Kraków Philharmonic by all-female vocal ensemble.
