After more than two years we are thrilled to be hosting this special evening in Dallas with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra."

"I knew that the Dallas Symphony needed to be part of this project from the moment that Trammell approached me," said Kim Noltemy, Ross Perot President & CEO of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. "The marrying of all these disciplines to tell the story of our Earth resonated with me, and I know it will resonate with audiences."

ABOUT The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth
The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth was inspired by the annual monsoon rains that sustain life on the fragile landscape of the high - desert plateaus of the Southwest. This live multidisciplinary performance invites the audience to remember their physical and spiritual connection to our planet's beauty and plight through paintings, music, dance, film, light, and spoken word. Conceived by environmental artist Sibylle Szaggars Redford to explore the issue of climate change resulting in rapidly changing weather patterns, Szaggars Redford collaborates with world-renowned artists to create a piece that illustrates crucial environmental dilemmas through performance art.
