A Sound Planet Youth Ambassador is someone who wants to make a difference with their music. This ambassador workshop for high school students will explore how professional artists and scholars around the world are fighting climate change and the biodiversity crisis through performance and advocacy. Attendees will be provided with resources and a peer network to build creative sustainability projects in their own communities. The evening will culminate with a brief group performance of two works: Cait Nishimura’s Beneath the Canopy and Frank Duarte’s Song for Mother Gaia (arr. Bove), so - if you are an instrumentalist - please bring your instrument. Formal concert attire is not expected. Participants should please dress comfortably in nice clothing (no jeans, no t-shirts).

The event is free; preregistration is required: CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

If you are a music educator and would like to bring a group of students, then you may instead send a roster directly to Artistic Director Joseph Higgins: higgins@rowan.edu
