Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano and the Environment
Environmental issues have become of fundamental importance in the contemporary world. With population growth and industrial development, human impact on the environment has become increasingly evident. Issues such as climate change, deforestation, air and water pollution, and biodiversity loss are just some of the challenges we face in the future.
Environmental awareness is crucial to promoting sustainable practices and protecting our planet for future generations. Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano is fully aware of the importance of these issues and the impact these considerations have on our individual behaviors.
In the month of Earth Day (April 22), Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano dedicated two events to the environment.

The event was met with unanimous approval from both adults and children.
The second is
Climate Change, part of the Musica & Scienza series. The performance on Saturday, April 20th at 6:00 PM, featuring climatologist
Luca Mercalli, is a great opportunity to raise awareness on the matter, in a passionate interdisciplinary dialogue with Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano conducted by Ruben Jais. At the heart of this fascinating event is
The [Uncertain] Four Seasons, one of the most interesting musical projects related to the climate issue, an algorithmic recomposition of Vivaldi's
The Four Seasons, developed by composers, musicians, climatologists, and computer scientists using geospatial climate forecasts for 2050.

Climate Change
Using a sophisticated algorithm, geospatial variations were mapped from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) modeling to the original score, allowing for different versions to be generated for specific locations. From Amsterdam to Seoul, from Caracas to Bremen, the project "generated" different music depending on the characteristics of the location where it was performed, in a sonic kaleidoscope that takes on different connotations each time. The resulting music is a distortion of the landscape that inspired Vivaldi. In some variations, the birds remain silent. In others, the storms are more intense or the rivers stop flowing.
In all variations, the changes are clear and unmistakable.
The first was
Grande Terra. A Musical Journey Through Biodiversity, part of the Crescendo in Musica series. On Saturday, April 6th at 4:00 pm, the show focused on one of the most important issues for the present and future of our planet: biodiversity and, more generally, the protection of the environment and the richness of the natural world around us.
Grande Terra. A Musical Journey Through Biodiversity was a world premiere, performed alongside two welcome returns to the stage of the Milan Auditorium. They form an exceptional artistic duo, the irresistible Banda Osiris alongside Telmo Pievani, evolutionist and scientific narrator, who holds the first Italian chair of Philosophy of Biological Sciences at the Department of Biology at the University of Padua, where he also teaches Bioethics and Naturalistic Popularization.

At the start of Youth and Public Empowerment Day at COP26 on November 5, 2021, The [Uncertain] Four Seasons released performances by 14 orchestras from six continents, half of which were youth orchestras—significant evidence that young people are at the forefront of the climate movement. The [Uncertain] Four Seasons is an initiative of AKQA, a leading digital design and communications agency, and Jung von Matt, composer Hugh Crosthwaite, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and the Monash Climate Change Communications Research Hub.

“
A musical message that reminds us that, if we don't act now,
the landscape of 2050 will be radically different from what
we know and rely on
the landscape of 2050 will be radically different from what

”
Ambra Redaelli, President of Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, emphasizes: “With the symphonic initiatives last April, dedicated to Earth Day month, we wanted to underscore the Foundation's sensitivity to environmental issues. This reflects the Orchestra's commitment to this area, which translates above all into a series of behaviors that are important to adopt in our daily lives. Examples include the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Milan Auditorium—114 of them allow us to self-produce two-thirds of our theater's energy—and raising awareness about eliminating the use of plastic, with the installation of water dispensers throughout our spaces. This sensitive attitude is also expressed by the Foundation in its programming, sharing reflections on biodiversity and climate change with the public through music”.

"For the Foundation," Redaelli continues, "Culture and the Environment are allies, and it is essential to create an ever-increasing number of opportunities to reflect and take action in response to this threat. For this reason, we are also, and especially, addressing the young audience whose future is concretely threatened. The message we want to convey is that in the Auditorium, music is a source of reflection, a stimulus to actively address this important issue".
The Foundation's sensitive attitude towards these issues can be realized through the gradual pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the UN in relation to the 2030 Agenda, the essential elements of which are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 sub-goals, among which aspects of fundamental importance relating to climate change and the protection of our ecosystem stand out.

SUPPORT THE ORCHESTRA
NEW INSTRUMENTS, NEW SEASON, NEW ENERGY
Two years ago, our community achieved something extraordinary: raising over €55,000 in just 30 days to provide the Orchestra with a new set of timpani. Today, with the 2026/27 Season approaching, we are aiming for a new goal: to raise €30,000 to renew the Orchestra’s percussion instruments and continue ensuring the artistic excellence of our concerts.
