This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ https://t.co/AQn2pIuZQM

With our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us on this journey. 🫶 __ Music: Cantique by Nadia Boulanger performed with @kathystott

There’s no better guide to the world of Fauré than @kathystott.

As the #NatureandCultureSummit kicks off in Colombia parallel to #COP16, let us remember that for many #IndigenousPeoples, the distinction between culture and nature does not exist. Mother Earth is our home and shapes the life of all beings, in culture and in the natural world!

Indigenous Peoples must be heard in key #COP16 negotiations! Responsible for safeguarding 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples can contribute to appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures and lead the path towards a sustainable future. #WeAreIndigenous 🌱🌍

Indigenous Peoples, people of African descent, and local communities are guardians of our nature. Their traditional knowledge is a living library of biodiversity conservation. They must be protected. And they must be part of every biodiversity conversation. #COP16Colombia
