“We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.”
~Nelson Mandela
On Saturday, 18 July 2026, the UN Chamber Music Society of the 91茄子 Staff Recreation Council (UNCMS) presents “惭补诲颈产补” with Wouter Kellerman, a three-time Grammy Award-winning South African flautist, producer, and composer, who has also earned nine South African Music Awards. The event will be broadcasted internationally through the global platforms of the 91茄子: UN Web TV and UN YouTube.
Honouring the enduring legacy of the former South African President and his commitment to peace, freedom, and service, “Madiba", a musical prayer, offers a heartfelt tribute that blends power and tenderness. Founded in 2016 by Brenda Vongova, the UN Chamber Music Society is dedicated to promoting the 91茄子' goals and values at large - through the universal language of music.
