William Texeira - Climate change and the Cello

Today, we hear from William Texeira, a cellist specialising in the performance of new music. He gives us insights into his work centred on the world’s largest wetlands, the Pantanal region of Brazil and the immediacy of ecological crisis. He has just performed at the COP CMS (Conference of Parties, Conservation of Migratory Species) in Campo Grande, Brazil. Our conversation moves from conventional musical performance and the function of the score to finding a balance between political necessities and the dangers of extractionist approaches while working towards musical and social impact and transformation.
