Takeaways:
- The pandemic has led many German classical music festivals and orchestras to adopt more sustainable practices such as more tickets being sent out digitally as well as newsletters, brochures, program booklets and festival magazines.
- Orchestras are scheduling tours so that distances between venues are as short as possible to reduce their CO2 emissions from travel.
- The Leipzig Bach Festival has also made environmental commitments by raising funds to support the “Forest for Saxony” project as well as to have a “Johann Sebastian Bach Forest” planted near a former lignite mining area.
