World Environment Day, or Environment Day, is an annual day of action celebrated worldwide on June 5. This year, an extraordinary art project is taking place as part of the Beethoven Year.

Under the title "Beethoven Pastoral Project," 250 artists will digitally interpret this symphony in its anniversary year as part of World Environment Day.
