Live! From San Francisco and Vienna: An Extraordinary Concert for Climate Action

Royal Irish Academy’s Climate Change and Environmental Sciences Committee in partnership with Arup brings you a collaboration between Friday Nights with Yury Revich and The ClimateMusic Project.

This concert includes a variety of compelling and beautiful music by world-class performers. The programme was chosen to increase awareness of the urgency of the climate crisis, to underscore the need for both individual and collective action from around the world, and to inspire the personal and political will needed to make the necessary changes to avoid irreparable harm to our world.

The audience may attend the concert screening and panel discussion in person or view the event online. Please note that all attendees will be required to show their Digital COVID Certificate on arrival. Entry will not be permitted without proof of vaccination or recent recovery from COVID-19.
