"Music and Human Rights"
Concert and discussion about human rights with music by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, Gioachino Rossini, Carl Nielsen, and Paolo Marzocchi
The aim of the Human Rights Orchestra, which is made up of musicians from Europe’s leading ensembles, is to increase awareness among a wider public for issues of human rights as well as to support specific human rights projects through its performances. As part of the Easter Festival, members of the Orchestra will join with Swiss youths to present a special concert. Under the direction of Alessio Allegrini, principal horn of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA, they will perform pieces by composers from Mozart to Nielsen before they team up with the young musicians to give the world premiere of two new works by Paolo Marzocchi that will have been rehearsed in a special workshop with the Italian composer. At the conclusion of the concert, the results of another workshop led by the Center for Human Rights of the University of Teacher Education of Central Switzerland Lucerne will be presented.
A partnership project of LUCERNE FESTIVAL with the Center for Human Rights (Zentrum für
Menschenrechtsbildung - ZMRB) of the University of Teacher Education of Central Switzerland Lucerne and Musicians for Human Rights
