Bach the Universe & Everything : Sustainable Space

Bach, the Universe and Everything is back with another season of celestial adventures inspired by the music of JS Bach and the amazing cosmic discoveries of the last 350 years.

Joanne Wheeler, director of the Earth Space Sustainability Initiative, talks about the urgent work of protecting the surprisingly limited space around our Earth for future generations, with music from Orchestra of The Age of Enlightenment in this new year edition of Bach, the Universe and Everything.

‘My sighs, my tears can not be counted, when one daily encounters despair and the anguish does not fade’. In this dark-toned cantata *Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen* (BWV 13), Bach begins with a very human lament, the feeling of hopelessness, and asking the question where we may find hope for the future.

Humans have now made near space so much part of our earthly realm that concerns are rapidly growing about our environmental impact beyond our planetary boundaries. Joanne Wheeler speaks on bringing together global voices from across government, academia, industry and business.
