Dabas Koncertzāle is the cross-media project of Rīga, Latvia.

Dabas Koncertzāle are the Latvian words for Nature's Concert Hall which has evolved from 2006 to stand for a concert conducted in nature to bring people closer to the understanding of that nature, its inhabitants and how to care for it. The idea stemmed from the need musicians playing ambience music had to break out of the traditional concert venues and the need for scientists to bring their fascinating knowledge to the public. The beneficiaries of this idea are the audience who are privileged to experience a form of music which seeks to include the natural surroundings as one of its players - through lights, sounds and the public's deeper understanding and appreciation created through this event. The mission of Dabas Koncertzāle is also to remind us that people and nature are part of one whole.

The project combines several disciplines to raise the public's awareness on the importance of different species in our environment and our responsibility to take care to maintain biodiversity. Dabas Koncertzāle brings together science, music, poetry and visual images. In the past years it has been conducted, it has evolved to provide a stimulating method for educating the public on nature issues, increasing their interest to take personal, concrete actions in being part of its protection.
