Halcyon String Quartet

Halcyon uses music and the arts to promote environmental stewardship and respond to the urgency of climate change. Through interdisciplinary public performances that combine music and other art forms, we draw attention to the daily challenges, rewards, and realities facing communities. We acknowledge the need for creative and diverse communication that harnesses the power of cultural traditions, storytelling, music, and visual art to translate numbers and facts into something tangible and human. We believe that music and art inspire us to notice, observe, and actively participate in our communities while acknowledging and protecting the natural environment that sustains them. We feel a strong sense of responsibility to respond imaginatively to what is arguably the most pressing issue facing our generation. We believe that music and art inspire us to notice and engage with the natural world in new ways. And that this in turn will lead to active stewardship of the places we call home.
