This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ yoyoma.lnk.to/natureatplay

There’s no better guide to the world of Fauré than @KathyStott.
Fauré has been the musical love of pianist Kathryn Stott’s life.
In ‘Fauré and Me’, @kathystott travels to France to visit Fauré's birthplace and celebrate his music. From the chapel where where Fauré’s musical talents were discovered, to hearing from the leading Fauré scholar, d star cellist @YoYo_Ma, we delve into this great composer's life.
Listen now on @BBCSounds.

As the #NatureandCultureSummit kicks off in Colombia parallel to #COP16, let us remember that for many #IndigenousPeoples, the distinction between culture and nature does not exist. Mother Earth is our home and shapes the life of all beings, in culture and in the natural world!

Indigenous Peoples must be heard in key #COP16 negotiations! Responsible for safeguarding 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples can contribute to appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures and lead the path towards a sustainable future. #WeAreIndigenous 🌱🌍

Indigenous Peoples, people of African descent, and local communities are guardians of our nature.
Their traditional knowledge is a living library of biodiversity conservation.
They must be protected.
And they must be part of every biodiversity conversation. #COP16Colombia

This trailer for LEAP OF FAITH moved me to search even harder for a path to unity. Thank you to the filmmaking team, including my son, Nicholas, and the people featured in the film for showing us how we can better practice that most fundamental call: love your neighbor.

A few days in Tonga offered me a front row seat to how people here have to endure the impacts of the climate crisis on a regular basis:
From torrential rains & flash floods to rising sea levels forcing families to relocate.
The world must take urgent #ClimateAction now.
