Improvs for Trees

In collaboration with the United States Botanic Garden, 10 international instrumentalists improvised 60-second works inspired by endangered tree species from six continents. The new music is paired with tree imagery and facts, and projected onto Kennedy Center screens.

“Won’t Give Up”

Every social justice movement has a song that serves as an anthem for the movement. Why is there no anthem for the climate movement? Critically acclaimed drag queen and vocalist Pattie Gonia joined 19-time Grammy Award®-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Indigenous trans musician and Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson to write a climate change anthem.

“Won’t Give Up” is a song about not giving up on this planet and not giving up on each other. The three artists traveled to Alaska (Christopherson’s native lands) to create a music video for “Won’t Give Up” and performed the track in front of Holgate and Exit Glaciers—two glaciers that are dying because of climate change.
