A Beautiful Break” is our new series that features beautiful and unique videos that are 5 minutes or less, so you can take a small, mindful break in your busy day. Press play, zone out, and savor the now.

In this “Beautiful Break” we share in honor of Earth Day, Ludovico Einaudi performed an original piece “Elegy for the Arctic” in partnership with Greenpeace to call for the protection of the Arctic Ocean. With a grand piano on a floating platform, Einaudi performed this original composition against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier in Svalbard, Norway. The acclaimed composer has turned the voices of eight million people that ask for Arctic protection into beautiful music.
