Scottish Classical Music Green Guide 2021
A free guide written collaboratively by over 30 orchestras, ensembles, festivals and individual musicians from across Scotland, it contains knowledge on how to reduce carbon emissions in all aspects of your work. The guide is intended to be relevant and useful to you whether you are an individual musician, part of a team, or in a position of leadership.
The guide was put together by The Scottish Classical Sustainability Group. Founded in 2020, the group – for the first time – brought together all of Scotland’s major orchestras, as well as many of the other ensembles, festivals and individual musicians that comprise the nation’s thriving classical ecosystem, to discuss their responses to the climate crisis on a regular basis. The group was inspired by the flourishing Green Arts Initiative, and the work of Creative Carbon Scotland, with whom the group partnered to produce this guide.
