ECHO for Peace
CANTUS FIRMUS participe à l’événement organisé par ECHO (European Cities of Historical Organs)
|
In the weekend of April 25, 26, and 27, ECHO is taking a stand against the senseless violence affecting our world. Without aligning with any political stance, ECHO firmly chooses peace. Through 28 concerts in 12 European cities, we aim to raise awareness of the countless innocent victims, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the devastating impact on cultural heritage. Music has always been a powerful voice for change, and during this special weekend, organists, musicians, choirs, and speakers will come together to inspire reflection. While we know our initiative cannot stop violence, we believe that raising awareness is a crucial step toward a more peaceful future. |
