Winners of the Youth Art Competition for children 6-16

In Cooperation with WWF Hellas

Beethoven loved nature! So do we!

The great composer found in nature a place of relaxation, solitude and inspiration. His 6th Symphony, the “Pastoral”, depicts the harmonious unity between mankind and nature.

The close relationship between the composer and nature was the starting point for the creation of the Beethoven Pastoral Project, conceived by the Organizing Committee of the 2020 Beethoven Jubilee, the UN Secretariat for Climate Change and the Earth Day network with the aim to increase awareness on the risks from climate changes and the need to preserve the natural equilibrium.

Inspired by this project, Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall, as part of its educational program, invited its young audience to participate in a drawing competition themed after Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony no.6 .

The winners are announced below and will be informed by Megaron at the contact details submitted with their entry.
