‘Celebrating Peace through Justice’
75th anniversary of the International Court of Justice
The world is a safer and more prosperous place thanks to international cooperation. As music connects people, countries, generations and cultures, music is also one of the best ways to spread this message. This event marks the end point of a one-year long musical journey called #UnitedMusic75. The aim of this one-year challenge was to show solidarity and highlight the convening power of music for a common cause: Peace through Justice.
Settle in for a spectacular performance of the Hymne des Nations by Residentie Orkest The Hague and harpist Lavinia Meijer live from the Museon. Composer Jaap Nico Hamburgerincorporated the thematic material into the second movement to honour the spirit of the founding of the Court.
Be inspired by the personal stories of musicians Simon Gronowski and Amer Shanati. And listen to messages by Stef Blok, Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs and Jan van Zanen, Mayor of The Hague.
Join us during this musical event and let’s unite through music!
