Music Road Rwanda

Public Charity
by Marie-Elisabeth & Martin Helmchen in Association with Crescendo.

Music Road Rwanda was born out of the conviction that music can give hope and peace to many people and has a immense influence in every culture and society. As professional musicians who travel a lot, we feel very strongly that music can provide so much more than entertainment.Many projects have already shown that musical education and the experience of working together can help people, especially children, out of crime and poverty.

Music Road Rwanda was born out of the conviction that music can give hope and peace to many people and has a immense influence in every culture and society. As professional musicians who travel a lot, we feel very strongly that music can provide so much more than entertainment.Many projects have already shown that musical education and the experience of working together can help people, especially children, out of crime and poverty. Rwanda is one of the most densely populated and one of the poorest countries in Africa. It is often called the «Land of 1000 Hill». Here in this country so torn by the genocide of 1994, where so many are victims of trauma, we have seen the power of music to change lives. That's why we visit Rwanda regularly and work with our current partner, the Presbyterian Church of Rwanda (Eglise Presbytérienne au Rwanda, EPR).
We collaborate as well with the local Goethe-Institute to organize concerts, in order to provide the local people with an opportunity to experience classical music. At the same time, we experience African culture and music, and take the input we receive in Rwanda home with us. Thus we are creating a unique and welcomed opportunity for cultural exchange that allows us to learn from each other.

Concerts

In Rwanda, there was still no classical chamber music concert cultur in public. In cooperation with the Goethe-Institute in Kigali, we gave two public concerts, both of which were enthusiastically received. One performance took place in the Hotel Serena, the other in the Goethe-Institute’s own auditorium. We plan to continue our cooperation with the Goethe-Institute to give further performances.

In addition to the urgent financial help we need, you can also actively participate:
• You can even organize charity concerts for "Music Road Rwanda"
• You can send us instruments, sheet music, strings, tuners, metronomes, etc. that you no longer need
• If you are a musician, you can share with us or friends to teach locally in Kigali
