Concert for peace

This is what it's all about.

The peace concert, which is organised by the ’Stand up again’ association, aims to set an example of global hope for peace and peace work. Peace is usually not just given to us from heaven, we have to reconcile ourselves everywhere and again and again and work towards peace. In the spirit of Nicholas of Flüe and Erasmus of Rotterdam, we want to make a special effort to ensure that Switzerland remains a place of reconciliation and becomes ever more aware of this calling.

My project is special because ...

Great classical music, played harmoniously by string players from conflict zones, symbolises and reveals with all its strength the harmony to which we humans of all the world are destined. On 15 June, a peace conference on Ukraine will take place on the Bürgenstock. As a sign of Swiss civil society, i.e. of ordinary people from a neutral country that is particularly destined to mediate peace, we want to tell the world that we are striving for peace with everyone in the world as the natural destiny of all people without blinkers and prejudices, but also modestly and without know-it-all attitude. Music and peace go hand in hand and this must be affirmed with outstanding performers and convinced servants of human reconciliation.

This is what I need backing for.

We need the money for the payment of the orchestra and the soloists, as well as for the rent of the concert hall and the printing of the flyers.
