“41 Strings” was created in 2011 by artist and musician Nick Zinner and creative producer Berrin Noorata, to honor the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. Since its first performance in New York, “41 Strings” has been celebrated and performed across the world in London at Meltdown Festival and in Sydney at the Sydney Opera House.
