Some evenings offer more than mere entertainment; they build bridges. This week, we experienced a truly special chamber music concert at The Frick Collection in New York together with our American Global Friends. We felt how music brings people closer, and we saw how it opens conversations across cultures. The evening was enriched not only by the music, but also by inspiring words from managing directors Axel Rüger , Dominik Winterling and by Consul General Ahmed Dadou, who reflected on the importance of cultural exchange and shared values across borders. Surrounded by art and history, the music created a warm and intimate atmosphere with our international audience. We are very grateful to Axel Rüger , Jeremy Ney and The Frick-team for their generous hospitality and the extraordinary setting. Our special thanks also go to the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and Dutch Culture USA for their support and commitment to making this beautiful evening possible. We’re bringing the full orchestra back to the United States, from East Coast to West Coast. Help make this tour possible by becoming an American Global Friend.
