UNITED IN MUSIC

concert to support the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)

The initial idea behind the project was sharing music and joy to people’s homes, to overcome together the challenge we have found ourselves in worldwide due to the virus spreading and when Bravo Niagara! approached me and asked to collaborate on a live-stream performance of the Vivaldi Four Violins Concerto, I was delighted to accept.

However, I thought this initiative should also find a way to support the people who are in an extreme crisis in this tough time, and that’s why we started conversations with the UN Refugee Agency. We found a quick and enthusiastic collaboration in their representatives, and after a few conversations, the United in Music project got a new purpose: I believe that one should always nurture solidarity and empathy through everything that we do, and we musicians do it through playing music.

With this project, we encourage you to help us to raise funds for the Refugee Camps to help fight against COVID-19. Beyond the artistic result because of a difficult “set up” from home, we aim to help

"Desde el Holocausto (cuando la cultura Judía fue erradicada), mudos y polvorientos violines portando la Estrella de David han sido resucitados y una manifestación de sus vidas ha sido renovada. Un violinista judío despareció, pero un legado ha renacido."

Amnom Weinstein (Maestro Luthier)

Un proyecto completo con una serie de exposiciones, conciertos, conferencias y programas educativos que exploran la historia de la música y el arte frente a la opresión.

Durante el concierto, los músicos tocan con violines únicos que compartieron su destino con los del pueblo judío. Los violines fueron encontrados casi totalmente destruidos, en el silencio del infierno, en los campos liberados y guetos vacíos, al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Uno por uno, los violines han sido devueltos a la vida por el Maestro Luthier Amnón Weinstein y ahora ellos contribuyen a difundir un mensaje de Paz y Esperanza.
