Why 'Ginkgo'?
As the oldest tree species on Earth, the ginkgo tree represents the survival of a plant species against all odds. Its fan shaped leaves first unfurled over 200 million years ago, before dinosaurs and flowering plants appeared, and it's still here.
Why music?
Songs speak to people and nations at a deep level. The poet Shelley said "poets are the unacknowleged legislators of the world". We believe that music, art and poetry can bring us back to the magic of the world in which we live. We ask how music can inspire people of every nation to care about the uniqueness, rarity and sheer dazzling beauty of the natural environment.
