Music for the Earth

Music for the Earth, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization, has the mission to explore and implement ways that music can be used to enrich the lives of human beings and awaken a spirit of involvement in the preservation of wildlife, wilderness and the natural environments of the Earth.

Music For The Earth’s activities include concerts and albums to build community, celebrate the sounds of the planet, and benefit environmental causes; wilderness recording expeditions; media outreach and raising public awareness about environmental and social justice issues and groups; environmental and cultural education programs for young people; and music-making workshops and residencies. Other projects include EarthChild, a musical celebration of the community of life, in the form of a CD/DVD, with a companion guide for teachers and parents; and The Tree, a musical celebration of sacred trees around the world.

Music for the Earth is governed by a Board of Directors: Peter Forbes, Sarah Laird, James Sinclair and William Ryerson; with the advice of a “Sounding Board”, including Dave Brubeck, Judy Collins, David Darling, Michael Fox, Jane Goodall, H. Wiley Hitchcock, Al Huang, The Very Rev. James Parks Morton, Pete Seeger, Noel Paul Stookey, William Irwin Thompson, Andrew Tracey, and Mary Evelyn Tucker.
