On November 5 starting at 2pm (First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave.), the Environmental Action Group and Aella are thrilled to bring you a unique environmental experience to mark the culmination of the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa’s four-year congregational focus on Climate Action. Aella, one of Ottawa’s finest upper voice ensembles, is directed by First U’s Director of Music, Jenn Berntson. With The Earth Is Tired,  Aella hopes to speak to the collective feelings of climate anxiety and grief that have been intensifying in recent years. The program blends together rousing anthems, powerful music about climate-driven disasters, and songs of deep emotion and beauty, interspersed with spoken word leaving audience members feeling empowered, aware, and hopeful.
