To celebrate National Earth Day, Nat Geo Music Channel have organised a concert and live broadcast from Rome’s infamous Piazza del Polopo, featuring the likes of Ben Harper and Relentless7.
In an effort to promote environmental awareness, Nat Geo Music (which is a division of National Geographic) is encouraging music lovers ‘to do what counts’.
Sydney Suissa, executive Vice President of NGCI has spoken about this new partnership explaining that; “music is an excellent way to connect people to an important issue and inspire them to act. Nat Geo Music Channel is pleased to partner with Ben Harper and Relentless7 to increase understanding about the environmental challenges facing our planet.”
The concert will be aired on the 22nd of April beginning at 8pm in Italy and will be broadcast on the Nat Geo Music Channel and www.natgeotv.com/earthday.
Also playing at this one-off concert is the debut
performance from Bibi Tanga and the Selenites, one of the first new artists to come from the Nat Geo Music Record Label. An Italian band famous for its fusion of electronica and rock music will also be performing at the event.
The concerts carbon emissions are to be offset when the organisers will plant 1,000 trees this autumn in Rome’s Riserva della Valle dell’Aniene Park.
