Pianists Fighting the Climate Change

Pianists across the globe organized a series of concerts named ClimateKeys during the International Climate Change Conference by UN, COP23, in November in Bonn.

Atila Balint prepared a video, guest-speakers are Jovanka Vicentic and Natasa Sekulic, teachers of 23 May Technical School.

ClimateKeys is a global event initiated by composer-pianist Lola Perrin with one goal – to gather pianists from the whole world in various concert events with climate change expert guest-speakers who would inspire the audience on further thinking about the effects of climate changes.

Blending music with climate change talks could activate everybody`s need to protect our planet. We are searching for answers how can we, highly conscious individuals, contribute to improving life conditions on Earth, lower the emission of CO2, air pollution, save the water resources, use pure energy sources, which would improve the state of the environment where our children are supposed to live and work. Healthier, we hope.
