Brad Shepik's 'Human Activity Dream of the Possible' is a ten movement meditation on the climate challenges we face, aiming to inspire people to take any action they can to preserve and adapt in a sustainable way for future generations. Shepik composed and premiered the work in 2021 as response to the that year's climate report and his previous composition Human Activity Suite (2007). The concert length work weaves stringed instruments and rhythms from around the world with jazz into a narrative of hope.
