ClimateKeys

"I founded ClimateKeys was founded in 2017 because I could no longer be a musician as if all around me wasn't imploding. This global initiative is based on my touring composition project, Significantus, that combined solo piano performance, a talk by an expert and a conversation with the audience conversation about solutions to climate change issues. Enthusiastic response inspired me to encourage more musicians around the world to work with guest speakers and increase the number of conversations I was able to achieve on my own. Scores of international musicians and experts have joined. The first season, 34 concerts in 9 countries, took place October - November 2017 to raise public engagement with COP23, the United Nations climate talks. To date there have been over 65 concerts in 13 countries. Please visit our Concerts page for forthcoming events." (Lola Perrin)
