The United Nations brings peoples together for greater understanding and GFPA, UNITAR and Oberlin College & Conservatory brought policy-makers, diplomats and leaders together to recognize the work of the 77th General Assembly and its President, H.E. Mr. Csaba Kőrösi, through music on 2 December 2022 at Carnegie Hall.
The theme of the concert stemmed from the recognition that the world is at a critical moment in the history of the United Nations due to complex and interconnected crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, humanitarian challenges of unprecedented nature, a tipping point in climate change as well as growing concerns about threats to the global economy. More than 200 musicians took to the stage to emphasize the importance of collaboration and performance.
