The Berliner Philharmoniker and its chief conductor Kirill Petrenko have been ambassadors for UN refugee aid since 2021 – the first organisation to receive this status and to be part of the UN Refugee Agency’s “Circle of Friends”.
UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe has been working for more than 40 years as a national partner of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) for people on the run. It collects donations for UNHCR’s worldwide operations as well as for projects for refugees in Germany, and it informs the public about flight and the causes of flight.
UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe and the Berliner Philharmoniker are united in their concern to open up the prospect of a secure future for people on the run, in which they can once again take their fate into their own hands. The Berliner Philharmoniker support through individual campaigns and long-term projects with events and fundraising appeals, for example in context of our popular lunch concerts.
We would be delighted if you would join us on the path of this partnership and support this important project with your donations.
#hilftsicher: Giving warmth
Families who have fled war and persecution are often defenceless against the icy cold in winter. As a German partner of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe provides refugees in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Lebanon and other conflict regions with food, heaters, blankets and emergency shelters. The Berliner Philharmoniker share this commitment.
As a partner of UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe, we therefore make a targeted appeal for donations – in our wide-ranging communication through our website, newsletter and social media presence, but also at our end-of-season Waldbühne concert, where audience members are encouraged to make a donation. On special occasions, the orchestra uses the blue ribbon with the label #WithRefugees as a visible sign of solidarity for displaced persons and refugees around the world. You can help too.
Support us!
There are many ways to support the UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe and thus protect refugees and help them make a new start.
