Advocating Children’s Rights With Music
An evening of music and advocacy centers the voices of young people and the fight for the rights of children in conflict zones. The music video for Here for You, a moving composition by Samuel Leo Götz Benardo, will set the tone. Inspired by Samuel’s experience at the 2024 Gothia World Youth Cup in Sweden, where he met fellow youth from regions affected by war, the piece begins in harmony and builds to a crescendo of urgency.
The program also features a live cello performance, the world premiere of “Peace is a Verb” in D-Minor, and a talk on global children’s rights. This event invites reflection, connection, and a collective commitment to a more just and compassionate future.
