This event marks the beginning of ClimateKeys, a glocal initiative launching with over thirty concerts in nine countries during October & November 2017 to raise public engagement with CoP23, the 2017 UN climate talks taking place in November. ClimateKeys, founded by Markson Pianos Composer-in-Residence pianist Lola Perrin, features concert pianists and climate change experts collaborating in performances that include a conversation with the audience about positive response to climate change. To date, over a hundred concert musicians and guest speakers in twenty countries have joined ClimateKeys. More concerts are being planned through 2018.

At this launch concert, ten pianists perform works from their forthcoming ClimateKeys concerts with spoken contributions from Sir Jonathon Porritt and Hannah van den Brul. We also hear from Zane Gbangbola's parents, a family tragically affected by floods caused by climate change and the movement that seeks to uncover the Truth about Zane.#

"Talking about climate change needs to move in the centre of all we do, so I initiated ClimateKeys for scores of concerts pianists across the world to put the conversation into the heart of their concerts." (Lola Perrin)
