Dresden Symphony Orchestra on a collision course in the USA
The US authorities refuse to approve the Dresden Symphony Orchestra's "Tear Down This Wall!" project. The orchestra wanted to build "a musical bridge for freedom and international understanding" in Tijuana and San Diego in cooperation with Amnesty International Mexico.
The location and reason for the project is the wall planned by President Donald Trump to be built between the USA and Mexico, which already exists in many places. The orchestra writes that the cancellation by the USA will prevent the planned cross-border collaboration between US artists, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra and Mexican musicians. The free concert on June 3 will now take place exclusively on the Mexican side.
The Dresden Symphony Orchestra is now calling on US artists, musicians and like-minded people in particular to take part in their own actions or flash mobs along the entire 3144 km border on the same day. The authorities' ban is limited exclusively to the concert by the Dresden Symphony Orchestra in Friendship Park/San Diego. Everyone is invited to take part and share videos of their own actions via a hashtag.
