THE LOST SEASONS
ClientEarth has been running a campaign in Poland – called ‘#ico2dalej’ – to boost recognition of how
climate change is affecting everyone in the country, in ways they may not have recognised – and making
the link between climate change and heavy use of fossil fuels.
climate change is affecting everyone in the country, in ways they may not have recognised – and making
the link between climate change and heavy use of fossil fuels.
Ahead of the climate conference in Katowice last Christmas, as part of our campaign, composers Szymon Weiss and Szymon Sutor teamed up to find a new way to tell the story and to inspire people and leaders to take action.
Their joint creation, “The Lost Seasons”, reimagines Antonio Vivaldi’s original composition “The Four Seasons”
– altered to reflect the changes the world is seeing as global temperatures rise.

The electro-classical piece debuted on stage at COP24, with a live orchestra, against a dystopian backdrop: drone footage in monochrome of Poland’s biggest coal plant, Belchatow, and the mine
that surrounds it.

A new documentary has just aired, telling the story of how the collaboration and the piece came to be.
