Ludwig van Beethoven famously pioneered the reflection of nature in his revolutionary Sixth Symphony (The Pastoral). To mark the occasion of Beethoven's 250th birthday the Beethoven Pastoral Project, a partner of the Earth Day Network and its Artists for the Earth initiative, invites artists from all over the world to form a network through engagement with Beethoven’s ‘Pastoral’ Symphony. By performing “their Pastoral”, and works inspired by it, on Earth Day or United Nations World Environment Day in 2020, orchestras and other ensembles can take a stand against environmental degradation and "stand up" for the UN’s sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
