Music and the Environment Stories from the Scene: the past, present and future of music in Victoria

Our fifth episode of Stories from the Scene Stories from the Scene is a two-parter exploring music and jts environmental impact. In the first part, Music Victoria’s CEO, Simone Schinkel, speaks with Edwina Floch - the founder of the Environmental Music Prize. In the second part Simone speaks with Berish Bilander – the CEO of Green Music Australia.

In these conversations they discuss the Environmental Music Prize - a new call-to-action for artists to use their voice both on and off stage, which recognises and rewards artists who inspire action for climate and conservation.

They also discuss: challenges of creating with a “cause in mind”, music as a tool for social change, the Green Music Action Program, touring sustainably, and the whiteness of climate action.
