Benefit Concert for the Earth Charter conducted in Amsterdam

Benefit%20Concert.jpgOn mothersday, May 11, a charity concert for the International Association of Human Values and the Earth Charter took place in the historic Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. World famous musicians like the violinist Isabelle Faust of Germany and the cellist Quarine Viersen of the Netherlands performed pieces of Beethoven, Dvorak, Schumann, and Brahms, and supported the cause by performing without pay. Around 1.400 people attended the concert.

The funds that were raised will be split equally to support IAHV’s One-Euro-A-Day program that provides free education for poor children in India and the production of Earth Charter educational materials on sustainable lifestyles. The materials are intended to explore the famous Earth Charter notion on "being more instead of having more", and will be produced within the Earth Charter Program on Religion and Sustainability.
