About this exposition

During crises, musicians often use the power of music to help. For example: to defend certain human rights, to fight for peace or to remember victims of a war. I was wondering if musicians also could play a role in raising more awareness for the climate crisis. Visual artists and pop artists amongst others already are quite active on this topic, but I didn’t notice much activity of classical musicians. So in this research I went searching for these active classical musicians. In the end, I made an inspiration wall with concepts of orchestra’s and musicians from all over the world to show how you can raise more awareness for the crisis. Besides that, I also showed what I decided to take as first steps and how it worked out. Cecilia van Berkum is currently studying her Masters at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague with Ilona Sie Dhian Ho. In 2020 she received her Bachelor with Honors in Utrecht, involving winning the Emir Steyerberg Prize, prize for best final exam of the year. Furthermore, she studied at the Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg as an Erasmus exchange. Besides the standard Master program, she follows the chamber music specialization with the Mare Quartet and the improvisation/jazz specialization with Julia Philippens and Benjamin Herman. Cecilia won an academy with the PHION orchestra. Her violin was built by Paul Bailly (1893).
