Monthly Letter NGP N
To Non-Governmental Organizations, Official partners of UNESCO Ref. : ERI/MSP/INO/2016/143 30 November 2016 Dear Partners, First of all, I wish to express great satisfaction for the successful organization of the Sixth International Forum of NGOs in official partnership with UNESCO held in Querétaro (Mexico) on 3 and 4 November last. I noted an excellent participation of our NGO official partners who strongly mobilized their local and regional branches. It was the first Forum to be held in Latin America and the largest Forum so far in terms of audience – it brought together around 800 participants. I am particularly pleased that, for the very first time, hundreds of young people from local high schools and universities joined this Forum and took part in the debate. The two-day discussions were held on the theme “From promoting to building Peace with NGOs”, a topic which lies at the heart of UNESCO’s mandate and of Sustainable Development Goal 16, which includes promoting peaceful and inclusive societies. The Forum emphasized the need for action, and the fact that peace cannot be a mere matter of policy making, but a process where the civil society is a full-fledged actor. I also wish to recall that we are fast approaching an important highlight in the cooperation between NGOs and UNESCO - the 2016 International Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations, which will be held at UNESCO Headquarters from 12 to 14 December on the theme “The challenge of the digital revolution for NGOs”. Your participation is essential, and I really hope that many of you will be present at this important event.

There were these very Astor Piazzolla strong vibes of energy. This energy had an incredible power. It's something you never forget, once being in the feel of this energy-it amplifies your own energy, it gives you sheer pleasure of being, encourages you to try more than you already have tried. Astor Piazzolla is not ashamed occasionally to be direct, occasionally to be straightforward. He's not ashamed of being sentimental, and some sophisticated, snobby people would object to it, but I feel like I'm going for the right thing-for the thing that touches you. Falling in love with Piazzolla is something special to me. Falling in love is always special, but falling in love with music is something even more special.

Tulane • 91.5 FM • New Orleans AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1991
Tulane • 91.5 FM • NEw ORLEANs AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1991 First Week Features Voices During the first week of our schedule, vocal works will be featured. The Twenti eth-Century Show starts on Sunday, August 11, from 7 to 11 p.m., with Ferenc Farkas's Aspirationes Principis, the Rak6czi Cantata (Hungaroton SLPX 12704). Named for a Hungarian patriot who led a war for independence, this heartfelt work for tenor, baritone, and orchestra was written in the 1970's, toward the end of an era of great trouble in Eastern Europe. Morning Classics, from 6 to 8 a.m., will start Monday, August 12, with Mary Watkins, who has selected the early Baroque Altri Canti di Marte of Claudio Monteverdi (Erato ECD 88108). On Tuesday, the 13th, Anitha Tummala will feature a work that has been an inspiration to gen erations of freedom lovers, Ludwig van Beethoven's "Chorus of Prisoners" from the opera Fidelio (EMI CDC 7 49828 2). Lenny Bertrand's Wednesday, August 14, show will include I Hear an Army (CRI SD 294), for the unusual combination of soprano and string quartet. The composer is neo-romantic David Del Tredici. From early in his career (1964), the music is not so mellow as the later works that have established the composer's popularity. For Thursday, the 15th, Jessica An derson will feature "Enchanting Land" from L'Africaine by Giocomo Meyer beer. Although no longer much in fashion, the demanding bel canto aria is done to a turn by tenor Placido Domingo (EMI CDC 7 49811 2). Mezzo Frederica von Stade brings equal accomplishment to Claude Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis, which Gina Forsyth will feature Friday (CBS MK 39023).
