UN Chamber Music Society | Virtual Performance in Observance of World Humanitarian Day
As part of the ongoing efforts to support peace and humanitarian aid through music, the music programme will feature "Hold Your Fire", composed by the renowned musical artist Kadim Al Sahir, and produced in collaboration with the UN Chamber Music Society (Brenda Vongova, Artistic Director). The song is a timeless and evocative track designed to raise awareness about all global crises in the world. Its emotional lyrics poignantly highlight the enduring human experiences of pain and loss, transcending specific events to touch on the universal suffering of innocent lives, homes, and families. It symbolizes our deep commitment to promoting enduring values of love, solidarity, and unity.
Founded in 2016, the UN Chamber Music Society carries out the United Nations' mission of peace, understanding and cooperation, through the universal language of music. Music symbolizes love and peace, and holds the power to illuminate the plight of the most vulnerable.
