Stewart Copeland, famed for his drum work with The Police, has teamed up with naturalist Martyn Stewart to create 'Wild Concerto,' a groundbreaking album blending animal sounds with classical music. Drawing from Stewart’s extensive archive of nearly 100,000 field recordings of endangered and extinct species, Copeland composed music that transforms these natural sounds into a symphony dedicated to raising awareness about wildlife conservation.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, 'Wild Concerto' features animal calls, from wolves to hyenas, integrated with orchestral arrangements. Copeland emphasizes that the raw sounds of animals dictated his instrument choices, creating a unique auditory experience that serves as both art and message. Stewart’s lifelong passion for documenting wildlife and his concerns about rapid species decline add a powerful environmental message to the project, aiming to inspire listeners to appreciate and preserve the natural world.

This collaboration marks a significant shift for Copeland, from rock stardom to composing music inspired by nature’s own sounds, driven by Stewart’s urgent environmental mission. Stewart, battling cancer and witnessing alarming declines in biodiversity, hopes the album will help foster greater awareness and action to prevent mass extinction, making 'Wild Concerto' a heartfelt tribute to Mother Nature’s orchestra.
