Music

Solo performance

Compose or perform a piece of music that is inspired by an environmental issue that you are passionate about. Whether you choose to write a song with lyrics or an instrumental piece, your music should reflect the emotions and urgency associated with the issue. Consider the sounds and rhythms of nature and incorporate them into your composition. You may also want to include field recordings of natural sounds or environmental activism protests to create a sense of place and context. Your music should be a call to action for environmental advocacy, inspiring listeners to take responsibility for the well-being of our planet. When creating a performance video, think about how you can visually convey the message of your music by using imagery that showcases the beauty of nature or the effects of human actions on the environment.
