The Human Rights Orchestra Returned to Lucerne
After two pandemic-precipitated postponements, the Human Rights Orchestra gave a highly emotional performance to honor victims of Covid-19, victims of the war in Ukraine, and victims of all wars. The audience attendance and the generosity of CONCORDIA Insurances Switzerland supported the work of La Strada International and Avant-Garde Lawyers.
