Maestro Claudio Abbado and the Orchestra Mozart launched the "Music Against Child Labour" Initiative in Paris on 11 June 2013. This joint Initiative of the ILO's International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) and its partners in the world of music, calls on orchestras, choirs and musicians of all genres worldwide to dedicate one concert in their planned programme between October 2013 and December 2014 to raise awareness about child labour. The Initiative also seeks to encourage further action to engage children in musical activity and education to promote their social inclusion and help protect them against child labour.
This morning in Brasilia, the Heliopolis Orchestra will pledge their support by performing and by signing the Music Initiative’s Manifesto. In conjunction with their performance, a short film launching the “Music Against Child Labour” Initiative will be premiered at the IIIrd Global Conference.
