Staatskapelle Berlin is an orchestra of international standing and with a long tradition. With their privately funded NaturTon Foundation the musicians support global climate and forest projects. The revenue from self organized „climate concerts“ also inures completely to the benefit of such international projects. „Professor Schellnhuber's decision to join the board of trustees appreciates the initiative of the musicians of Staatskapelle Berlin,“ says orchestra chairman and co-founder of NaturTon, Markus Bruggaier. „The partnership with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research brings the possibility of interesting joined projects which will strengthen our initiative's impact“.
„Our music tries to raise awareness for climate change by means of art,“ explains solo-trumpeter Christian Batzdorf. „It is because of science that we know of the problem, and science is needed to find the solutions. The Orchestra of Change wishes to contribute to the implementation of such solutions. Hence it is our great honour to act in concert with Professor Schellnhuber.“
