We are excited to report that our first songwriters’ workshop was a success! On June 6th, we partnered with Music Declares Emergency on a 1/2 day test session that paired a small group of distinguished songwriters with outstanding climate scientists. The workshop objective was to provide the artists with insight and information so that they can integrate accurate messaging about the climate crisis and climate action into their music. The session also included time for riffing off of the insights to spark new music in breakout rooms, and a segment on engaging audiences on climate action. The participants will regroup in a month to share the completed songs, which will be in both folk/country and latin rock genres. We’ll share them once they are fully polished this summer, so stay tuned for more! Thanks to Taurin Barrera and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Technology and Applied Composition Program for hosting us and for participating.
