Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja is not only known for her extraordinary musical skills but also for the trailblazing staged projects, in which she does not shy away from current world issues.
In Les Adieux, a project of Patricia with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, she focuses on climate change and the rapid deterioration of our planet. How much time have we got left on Earth? When will our natural resources be used up? When will natural disasters, rising sea levels and new illnesses bring us to our knees?
The Between the Bars team met up with Patricia whilst touring through Hamburg. In the first episode of the 3-part series The Big Goodbye, they sat down with the controversial artist and discussed her motivation and drive for Les Adieux.
