Sending solidarity and support to Lebanon and its people in the face of the unprecedented explosion, on Saturday, 15 August 2020, the UN Chamber Music Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council (UNCMS) will present a virtual concert in support of Lebanon’s ongoing relief and recovery efforts.   The explosion ripped through the city, flipping over cars, shattering glass and causing building infrastructures to crumble. The international community is heartbroken to see the devastation caused by the explosion, and our thoughts and prayers go out to all the citizens of Lebanon and all those who have also been affected.  All funds raised will be directed to the Lebanese Red Cross, to benefit the people of Lebanon.

 Music binds us together in these darkest moments.  Through compassion, the musicians of UN Chamber Music Society will perform music to support Lebanon – from the safety of their homes, to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.  Founded in 2016, the UNCMS is dedicated to promoting the goals of the UN through the universal language of music
