This workshop helps musicians find their conservation voice

On Friday 22 September Environmental Music Prize and Wilderness Society join forces to present a free online workshop to empower artists, music-lovers and nature enthusiasts alike to use their voices to care for our natural world. 

Life as an artist comes offers a unique opportunity to amplify voices. To use your platform for good. And to create real change. 

So if finding your conservation voice has been on your radar, listen up!

This impactful workshop offers the opportunity to learn from other artists who are already strategically using their voices.

Speakers include The Wilderness Society's National Campaigns Director Amelia Young, who navigates this critical time for the Australian environment by campaigning with others. 

You'll also hear from the founder of the Environmental Music Prize, Edwina Floch. Edwina's interests lie in helping catalyse initiatives to rapidly shift attitudes and behaviours affecting our vital ecosystem.

Not to mention folk singer-songwriter and finalist in the 2023 Environmental Music Prize awards, Anya Anastasia. Anya uses song and lyricism to bring awareness to planet-threatening external risks delivered from a playful mind. 

Anothy Albrecht, is an award-winning cellist, and the co-founder of The Bowebird Collective. He'll be speaking about his business's multimedia work which uses classical music as a medium to tell conservation stories. 

This workshop covers a high-level overview of conservation in Australia, including:

  • New nature laws

  • Key facts and stats to share

  • The linked climate and biodiversity crisis

  • The current state of biodiversity and species loss

Organisers give a massive thanks and shoutout to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard who won the 2022 Environmental Music Prize for their song 'If Not Now, Then When?' and donated the $20,000 prize money to The Wildlife Society.
