The UC Santa Barbara Department of Music will present a guest artist recital with ~Nois on Friday, February 28, 2020 at 7:30 pm in Karl Geiringer Hall. The program will include works by A.J. McCaffrey, Emma O'Halloran, and Pauline Oliveros, plus works by Tonia Ko and Gemma Peacocke written for ~Nois.

Of all the challenges the planet faces, none is as large as its fast-heating climate – and no one has worked longer or harder than Bill McKibben to both document and fight that ever-growing crisis. McKibben wrote the first book about global warming for a general audience – 1989’s The End of Nature. He went on to found 350.org, the world’s largest grassroots climate campaign, and write a dozen more books including his latest bestseller, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? McKibben now offers a call to arms 30 years after he first set the stage.
