Elegy for the Arctic

Ludovico Einaudi has turned eight million voices into music, Elegy for the Arctic, specially composed to help protect the arctic.

Greenpeace says:

He performed this piece for the first time — in front of a magnificent surging glacier — the music echoed across the ice, a moment that will remain in our minds forever.The timing of Einaudi’s performance is not by chance. This week, delegates at the OSPAR Commission meeting in Tenerife, Spain, have an opportunity to take an important step in protecting the Arctic. The proposal before them would safeguard 10% of the Arctic ocean, an area roughly the size of the UK.
