Piano Concert with Ann DuHamel

Prayers for a Feverish Planet

Pianist Ann DuHamel presents Prayers for a Feverish Planet, new and recently composed music about the climate crisis.

This program will feature a selection of pieces for piano and piano/electronics by composers on six continents. In the spirit of eco-artivism, the music asks urgent questions of the listener, such as: How do our actions generate positive change for the environment? How can we live more mindfully and conscientiously as global citizens? What sustainable impact can we create for generations to come? Audience members will hear vanishing shorelines echoed in vanishing notes, cracking Arctic ice, and music that reflects on grief, hope and more.

Pianist Ann DuHamel’s performances have been praised as poetic and “… a delight for the ears and the soul” (Encuentro Universitario Internacional de Saxofón, Mexico City). She has performed in 17 countries. 

Ann DuHamel is currently Associate Professor of Music at the University of Minnesota Morris, where she devotes herself to the mission of sharing high quality traditional and contemporary classical music with students and the greater community.
