“The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth – A Symphony for our Planet” film captures the live performance presented by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, 120 members of its youth choir and was conducted by Julian Benichou at the beautiful Morton H Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas Texas on October 22, 2022.

It is a powerful Symphony composed by my collaborator Tim Janis, the Mother Earth Film footage as background created by Thomas McBee, Alexandra Razskazoff as our Mother Earth soloist – with a meaningful spoken word of conscience live on stage by Robert Redford .

The film you are about to see tells the artistic story of the formation of the Universe, the evolution of all galaxies and eventually the birth of the unique and beautiful Planet Earth with all its elements.

It shows the beauty of this masterpiece we call Earth, but also points out the challenges, threats and abuse this planet is going through.

We end our love story with Hope – because once you choose Hope anything is possible ……….

The outstanding editing of this film lets you become part of the exceptional experience that evening at the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Hall and you will feel embraced by our Love Letter to Earth and its message!

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Trammell S. Crow, Founder of Earth X who made both – the live staged performance and the filming of The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth – A Symphony for our Planet at the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Hall possible!

Enjoy the Film and I Hope you will be inspired…
