WEDO and Barenboim: The Human Rights Concert

Synopsis

In order to celebrate the declaration of the “Human Rights” Daniel Barenboim and his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra perform at the heart of the United Nations in Geneva. The Orchestra, which was just recently designated as United Nations Global Advocate for Cultural Understanding by the UN is joined by rising cello virtuoso Kian Soltani in order to perform Joseph Haydn’s Concerto for Violoncello No. 1. This first part is followed by the Sinfonia Concertante for four winds by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, featuring four young soloists from Spain, Germany, Turkey and Israel. The imposing setting of the Human Rights Hall at the Palace of Nations, which houses the Miquel Barceló dome, provides a stunning backdrop for this concert highlighting the principles contained in the Universal Declaration.
