"Beethoven for the Indus Valley broadcasts Beethoven's call in
his Ninth
Symphony to "Be embraced, Ye Millions!" At a time when the
world needs
urgently to focus on our common humanity, your community of
musicians and
humanitarians is a musical beacon calling us all to embrace each
other, in
the service of the neediest and most vulnerable among us. I will
be there
with you in spirit." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
New York, NY - Music for Life International Inc. and American
Pakistan
Foundation present Beethoven for the Indus Valley, a benefit
concert of
Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony, organized and led by
Singapore-born
Indian conductor George Mathew. The concert will be presented in
the Stern
Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on January 31, 2011
at 8pm.
Beethoven for the Indus Valley is an urgent call to the global
community to
move as swiftly as possible to give the resources and support
that the
Pakistani people need to rebuild their lives and communities
after the
devastating floods of 2010. Proceeds will benefit Acumen Fund.
Beethoven for the Indus Valley will bring together many of the
world’s
finest orchestral musicians. Principal artists will gather from
the New York
Philharmonic, MET Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The
Emerson
Quartet, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Brooklyn Philharmonic, Youth
Orchestra of
the Americas, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and other international
orchestras
and ensembles; students and faculty of The Juilliard School, the
Manhattan
School of Music, and other major music schools. The renowned
Dessoff
Symphonic Choir, led by Music Director Christopher Shepard will
be the
chorus. A quartet of distinguished singers headlined by MET
Opera National
Council Winner soprano Laquita Mitchell, mezzo-soprano Margaret
Lattimore,
tenor Sean Panikkar and bass Morris Robinson will join the
assembled forces.
Glenn Dicterow, Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, will
serve as
Concertmaster, leading a violin section made up of
concertmasters of leading
American and international orchestras. Dr. Nafis Sadik,
Chairperson of the
American Pakistan Foundation and Jacqueline Novogratz, founder
and CEO of
Acumen Fund will offer special remarks from the stage.
Speaking about the concert, Mr. Mathew observed, “Beethoven
himself makes a
musical statement in the Finale of the Ninth Symphony that goes
to the heart
of our mission with this concert. Writing in an earlier era of
tension
between East and West, Beethoven uses the music of the Turkish
military,
music of the Islamic world, to provide stability and indeed
possibility for
the German (western) setting of the famous Ode to Joy tune. In
that moment
Beethoven seems to become the voice of a whole civilization in
that rare
moment of embrace of another civilization. It seems that
Beethoven is
suggesting that “embracing the spirit of the other, engaging the
culture of
the Other is probably a more interesting form of interaction
that rejecting
the OTHER, or being afraid of it, or declaring war on it or
deporting it.
Two hundred years later, it appears we have still much to learn
from this
great wise man of music and the world.” Mr. Mathew noted, “In
gathering
together as a community of musicians, listeners and supporters
we send a
message of solidarity and human support to our fellow human
beings in
Pakistan who have been so hard hit by these devastating floods
in addition
to whatever financial support we muster.”
About Beethoven for the Indus Valley
Beethoven for the Indus Valley is the fourth in a series of
global
humanitarian concerts that George Mathew has conceived and
presented at
Carnegie Hall, gathering together artists from the world's
finest
orchestras, ensembles and music schools for humanitarian causes
while
employing the music itself as their central source of energy.
Mathew drew
inspiration from the success of Beethoven’s Ninth for South
Asia,
(www.beethoven9forsouthasia.org), REQUIEM FOR DARFUR
(www.requiemfordarfur.org) and mahler for the children of AIDS
(www.mahlerforthechildren.org) which were benefits for the
victims of the
2005 earthquake in Pakistan; for the victims of the ongoing
conflict in
Darfur; and for Pediatric AIDS worldwide respectively. The
concerts,
presented in Carnegie Hall, brought together distinguished
musicians from
over 50 leading international ensembles including the New York
Philharmonic,
MET Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra,
Boston
Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra,
St. Louis
Symphony, the Emerson, American, Mendelssohn and Brentano String
Quartets,
and students, graduates and faculty of the Manhattan School of
Music,
Juilliard School, Curtis Institute and others. The benefits
received major
global coverage in the New York Times, on CNN, NY1, Voice of
America and in
the media in Africa, Europe, Asia and North America. Excerpts of
the former
concert were telecast by the BBC’s ASIA TODAY news program
throughout Asia
to an audience estimated in the hundreds of millions. Partners
of these
concerts have included Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, Refugees
International, The National Council of Churches, American Jewish
World
Service and Catholic Medical Mission Board.
Beethoven for the Indus Valley will operate under the auspices
of Music for
Life International inc. a registered 501 (c) (3) charitable
organization in
New York. The funds raised by Beethoven for the Indus Valley
will go to the
Acumen Fund for their work in Pakistan to empower affected
communities to
drive their own recovery through investment in civil society
resources and
infrastructure. Acumen Fund is a non-profit global venture fund
that uses
entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global
poverty. Acumen
invests patient capital to strengthen and scale business models
that
effectively serve the poor and champions this approach as a
complement to
both charity and pure market approaches.
