Lydenskab listens to the cities, nature, inequalities, the young, the old, the busy and the thoughtful and creates new, experimental music and performing art concerned with the lives we live right now. Listening makes classical music an active component in society, while we, together with the people we involve, leave a mark on the society we live in. 

 

For many years, Lydenskab's primary idea of sustainability has centred around social work and citizen participation, and this is where our prime focus lies. Conversations about the global environmental catastrophe and personal choice initiated a process of self-examination in Lydenskab. A collective need arose in the ensemble to not only work artistically with the ethical dilemmas linked to the climate crisis, but also to change our way of producing performing art, so that we reduce our Co2 emissions, create awareness and develop new methods to face the future. 

 

It is important for us to ensure that the creative vision is realised sustainably - both environmentally and socially. In Lydenskab, we have therefore focused on incorporating a fundamentally sustainable and holistic way of thinking into our creative process. This means that we work innovatively and rethink the way we produce performances: We have to think long-term and consider which projects to engage with in a new way. We will have to look inward and constantly ask ourselves: Is there a better and more responsible way to do this?

 

We want to be part of the global green movement. We owe that to the next generations! Through action and change in our way of working, we wish to influence the music industry and help set new standards for how to work sustainably. 

 

Community is of the utmost importance as we cannot work wholeheartedly on sustainable change alone. We work transparently and collaborate with organisations and other players on the art scene, including the organisation Bæredygtigt Kulturliv NU.
