Copland: "Nature, the Gentlest Mother" from 8 Poems of Emily Dickinson - EDEN by Joyce DiDonato

"It's a wonderful invitation of tranquility and repose ... to remember we also have to stop, take a deep breath, rest, recover, and feel Mother Nature's benevolence.”

The album samples repertoire from diverse inspirations and time periods, all of which explore an aspect of humankind’s eternal relationship with nature. In Joyce's words, the selections of the program "have no boundaries – like a wild garden.”

Beyond the recording, the EDEN project encompasses a global tour of more than 45 venues across five continents, groundbreaking education programs, and multiple partnerships. This multi-faceted initiative is poised to make a long-term impact and legacy which asks each of us to consider this question: "In this time of upheaval, which seed will you plant today?"
