International Arts Forum and Concert

International Arts Forum

Date: July-August 2026

Location: United Nations premises/venues in New York or an equivalent international stage

Forum Music Component: Curated Concert & Collaborative Preparation

As a core component of the forum, selected participants will take part in a curated forum concert designed to highlight collaborative music-making within an international arts context.

Participants are assigned to chamber-style ensembles formed specifically for the forum. Repertoire and ensemble groupings are determined by the artistic team to ensure balanced collaboration across instruments and age groups. In preparation for the concert, participants will engage in approximately three structured rehearsal sessions, including guided ensemble rehearsals and targeted artistic coaching.

The purpose of this concert is not competitive display or technical ranking. Instead, it emphasizes listening, coordination, shared responsibility, and artistic communication. The rehearsal process and final presentation are intended to model how music functions as a collaborative language—connecting individuals across backgrounds and contributing meaningfully to a public forum setting.

This concert represents the culmination of the forum’s collaborative preparation process, offering participants an opportunity to experience ensemble performance as both an artistic and communal practice.

Through this process, participants move beyond individual performance to experience music as a shared act of expression and engagement within a broader cultural dialogue.

Participants selected for the International Arts Forum will receive a separate official invitation following the final round. The invitation will include detailed information regarding the event schedule, participation procedures, and related arrangements.
