The Nissan Leaf Orchestra

Nissan needed to raise awareness about its 100% electric vehicle, Nissan LEAF and its commitment to sustainability.

We launched the Nissan LEAF Orchestra, a musical ensemble featuring rare artists who use leaves to play music, an art form discovered by Philippine national artist Levi Celerio.

To complete the orchestra, Nissan searched the country and discovered two leaf players in a small village in Bohol. A father and his son whom he trained in the art of leaf music.

The Nissan LEAF Orchestra performed in a series of videos with renditions of classic songs amid endangered trees where nearly a third of native species are facing extinction. The performance served as a reminder to listen to nature without featuring the Nissan LEAF.

Best of all, the Nissan LEAF Orchestra sparked positive sentiments about Nissan and its commitment to nature and sustainability.
