The Power of Music: Radical Listening for the Climate Emergency

Welcome to another episode of Arts & Ecology. This is our second episode and we're so glad you are joining us.  Arts & Ecology is a brand new podcast about the vital role art and culture play in creating a regenerative future. In this episode, we talk to the historic Dartington Summer School Artistic Director, Sara Mohr-Pietsch. Sara is a music broadcaster, curator and writer. She is one of the best-known voices on BBC Radio 3, where she hosts the experimental late-night show, Night Tracks, and has presented Breakfast, Music Matters and Hear and Now. Sara and Natasha discuss how the power of listening is a transformative act for anyone interested in mitigating the ecological crisis. She shares with listeners her curatorial approach and how she creates events and experiences that are more democratic and bring people together for a unique experience. Sara also discusses with Natasha her own journey with nature and how she is raising her daughter in this new era of climate emergency. Listen to find out more about Sara's extraordinary experience and insightful ideas.  WHAT'S ON AT DARTINGTON THIS WEEK Ways With Words, 12/07/2022 to 17/07/2022 This annual festival, which takes place in the Dartington Trust grounds, exists to celebrate and promote the power and potential of the written and spoken word.   In the gallery, Marianne de Trey, 12/07/2022 to 15/07/2022 A retrospective of the work of Marianne de Trey, showing the breadth of her talent and skill as a potter and artist - from unique one off pieces to sets of tableware; stoneware to porcelain.   Short Course, Finding Your Voice, 15/07/22 Discover who you are through song: this is a chance to find your own authentic voice with the support of a community of like-minded people    In the Barn Cinema, a terrifically entertaining biopic of the iconic singer, played with verve, wild physicality and burn-the-screen-down charisma by Austin Butler   Come along to our weekly Saturday market showcasing the best in local food, crafts, music, and more!   To find out about all these events go to the Dartington website   To learn more about the ecological crisis and the vital role art and culture plays in creating a regenerative future, subscribe to the podcast on Apple or Spotify.
