The Power of Music: Radical Listening for the Climate Emergency

Welcome to another episode of Arts & Ecology. This is our second episode and we're so glad you are joining us. 

Arts & Ecology is a brand new podcast about the vital role art and culture play in creating a regenerative future.

In this episode, we talk to the historic Dartington Summer School Artistic Director, Sara Mohr-Pietsch. Sara is a music broadcaster, curator and writer. She is one of the best-known voices on BBC Radio 3, where she hosts the experimental late-night show, Night Tracks, and has presented Breakfast, Music Matters and Hear and Now.

Sara and Natasha discuss how the power of listening is a transformative act for anyone interested in mitigating the ecological crisis. She shares with listeners her curatorial approach and how she creates events and experiences that are more democratic and bring people together for a unique experience. Sara also discusses with Natasha her own journey with nature and how she is raising her daughter in this new era of climate emergency. Listen to find out more about Sara’s extraordinary experience and insightful ideas.
