KEY WORDS: music, environment, artistic creation, environmental sensitization.

ABSTRACT:
Undoubtedly, music is an integral part of everyday life and has been an important factor in education, expression, and influence since antiquity. The ultimate goal of our research was to explore the current relationship of artists with the environment, the influences they receive, and whether projects with similar content can sensitize listeners to environmental issues. The majority of Greek artists believe that the relationship between music and the environment is still strong, although it seems to be waning year after year. The living environment is a source of inspiration for creation and they believe that songs, combined with some factors, can sensitize the world and lead it to adopt appropriate behaviors and actions in the context of sustainable development. This has the effect of forming a circular environmental feedback model through the artists, their works and the listeners.
