International Concert 'Resonance'

Organized by the Rotary Inter Country Committees Belux-Russia and  Belux-Ukraine,
to promote mutual understanding, friendship and peace in the world
 
Last month of March 2018 I had the privilege to attend the Rotary Concert for Peace “Resonance” in the beautiful city of Liège, in Belgium. I was very impressed by the quality of the Ukrainian and Russian artists and the warm welcome from our Rotarian friends of Belgium.
 
The musicians just selected for the fifth edition of the Resonance – ICC Peace Concerts are:
Burtsev Nikita – barytone – Ukraine
Liashko Vitalii - clarinet - Ukraine
Nesterenko Zinovia – violin - Russia
Tsotsonava Lolita – piano - Russia
 
More information (pictures, program …) will soon be available on the website: www.resonance-icc.org

I was invited to bring a delegation of American Rotarians and non-Rotarians to one of the concert, which will be in:
  • Liège : 23/2 – University (as usual)
  • Landen : 24/2 – Location to be confirmed
  • Antwerpen : 26/2 – Amuse (deconsecrated church - Kamenstraat à Antwerpen, about 350 seats)
  • Bruxelles : 28/2 – Hôtel de Ville or Sablon (location to be confirmed)
I hope you will consider being part of the delegation who will attend the 2019 concert. Everybody is welcome!
My Rotarian friend Marcel Tikin from Liège, is preparing a “real treat” for the foreign delegations: Friday, February 22 in the evening, the RC of Liège will give an “avant-première presentation” (performance) of the Opera of Verdi “Aida” by the “troupe de l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie”. Marcel explained: “For all the friends coming from far away, we are preparing a package including the Opera night, a visit of the city of Liège during the day on Saturday, February 23, with the concert "RESONANCE" the same night. Also Rotary working meetings will be organized with the sections of ICC/CIP between France and Belgium. It will be the opportunity also to meet delegations from Ukraine and Russia, during this international weekend”.
 
Friends, this is a great way to promote PEACE in the world, through Art and Music! Travel plans are: departure from Cleveland Thursday, February 21, 2019 and return Monday, February 25, with the possibility to extend the trip for a few days.
