What is ECHOES?
ECHOES is a European cooperation project designed to integrate sustainability into the live music ecosystem — from venues and artists to audiences and communities.
The project operates at the intersection of:
- Environmental sustainability
- Contemporary music creation
- Digital innovation
At its core, ECHOES empowers venues to adopt sustainable practices while supporting artists to co-create original musical works inspired by natural soundscapes.
ECHOES is a transnational initiative bringing together venues, artists, and communities from four European countries to promote sustainable practices, cross-border artistic collaboration, and environmental awareness through music.
