Krista Bailey shows us a unique way to experience sustainability in Michiana. One of the pieces that will be performed by the South Bend Symphony Orchestra on February 26th is a piece called “Terra Nostra”. Krista had a chance to talk with the composer of Terra Nostra to learn how he took his passion for music and his passion for the environment to create something with wonderful music and stunning visuals. Christophe shares a little about the process and what he’s hoping people who come will take away from the experience.
