Climate Action: Music as a Driver for Change
 
Invitation to the EFM Online Series Part I
 
 
 
 
 
After having cancelled the European Forum on Music 2020 (EFM) – due to the Covid-19 crisis – the EMC has decided to put a series of events online to discuss with musical artists, policy makers and environmental experts how music activities can contribute to the protection of our environment. While the Covid-19 crisis puts enormous pressure on the music sector at large, it is clearer than before that any way out needs to put attention to environmental aspects.
 
The EFM Online series will ask how the music sector can act more eco-friendly, how music can help raise awareness for the need of climate action in general, and how the music sector can support activists in their efforts to put environmental issues high on the political agendas.
 
Watch out for more information on the other parts of the EFM Online Series!

Online Panel Discussion: Act Now - Music & Climate Action
 
 
 
 
 
 
5 June 2020 - 11:30-12:30 CEST
 

The first event will take place in the frame of the Beethoven Pastoral Project. On 5 June, World Environment Day, the Pastoral Day will celebrate Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony and his dedication to nature. It will remind us that environmental protection and global sustainability are key to the future of our societies.

The panel discussion will bring together musical artists with an ecological mindset and political decision makers from the EU to debate framework conditions for artists and their audience in order to respect the environment, be artistically active and reach out to the audiences.

→ The event will be streamed on social media, no registration is required
