Fwd: Fundraising for UNICEF at Concert for Europe on 1.Mai, maybe for the Newsletter



The Berlin Philharmonic have performed their EUROPE Concert on May 1st each year since 1991 - each year place in a different country. This year it was supposed to be in Israel/Tel Aviv. But due to Corona it had to be cancelled.

Instead, the Philharmonic under its conductor Kirill Petrenko played its concert under very special conditions. The musicians had to observe the requested distance, the concert hall was totally empty and only very few could play.

The concert was opened by our President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and was broadcast in 80 countries.

The audience were invited to  send contributions to UNICEF.   According to the German UNICEF Nat. Com  all contributions added up to  200.000 € .

On the program : Gustav Mahler's Symphonie Nr. 4 G-Dur arranged for Chamber ensemble by Erwin Stein

„Fratres" by Arvo Pärt,

„Ramifications für Streicher" by György Ligeti

„Adagio für Streicher" by Samuel Barber

All the best, stay well, Ute
