The Mediterranean Concert

Human Rights and Alliance of Civilisations Room, United Nations, Geneva

ORGANISED BY: FUNDACION ONUART
SPONSORED BY: THE UNITED NATIONS ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS (UNAOC)
ARTISTIC PRODUCER: ORIOL FERRER
DATE: 9th JULY 2016

Throughout history, this sea has been the cradle of exceptionally important civilisations, and for centuries a variety of languages, religions and traditions have coexisted on its shores.

Far from being a barrier, the Mediterranean has been a channel for communication, a bridge between cultures, since antiquity. Its peoples have used it as a route for the exchange of goods, but also of knowledge and wisdom. This is perhaps why their music and song have drunk from the same source of inspiration, and there are many influences of theme, style and rhythm that they all share.

This concert, especially organised by Fundación ONUART at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, will have artists from different cultures sharing a stage, artists with diverse tongues, different religions, varied styles and traditions yet all of them with one common purpose: to reclaim the Mediterranean as a meeting point of cultures.
