Ten years after the creation of the Cartooning for Peace network in New York by Kofi Annan and a dozen international editorial cartoonists, the Cartooning for Peace Swiss Foundation is organising a benefit concert on September 16, in the Victoria Hall in Geneva, in aid of cartoonists threatened all around the world for putting their talent and courage in support of democracy, justice and human rights.
The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, under the direction of the Dutch conductor Antony Hermus, will perform Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Third Symphony (‘Eroica’), at 8pm. Chappatte and Plantu, both founding members of Cartooning for Peace, will draw live during the 4 movements of the symphony.
