The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra is kicking off its 93rd season with an immersive experience for the eyes and ears titled “The Four Seasons of the Moon”.

Saskatoon artist Monique Martin says in addition to the musical performance, Max Richter’s Recomposed Four Seasons, there will also be several art exhibits for the audience to enjoy. However, this art won’t be founds hanging on the walls.

Martin created a 120 square metre floor cloth depicting scenes of climate change such as drought, wildfires, floods, and pollution. She encourages the audience to walk on the large floor covering, so they can take a look at all of the climate change scenes. Martin says she created the massive floor covering because it was a challenge, and bold statements need to be made for climate change to be taken seriously.

If visitors look from the ground to the roof, they will find a seven-metre-in-diametre moon hanging from St. John’s Cathedral’s rafters. It is an internally lit, touring art exhibit created by Luke Jerram. The moon will be available to see until September 23rd as part of Museum of the Moon, alongside Martin’s cloth.

The Four Seasons of the Moon will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday evening at 7:30pm.
