Encore! Pianist Highlights the UN MDGs
​at Lincoln Center in New York City
Picture
This moving performance — of the Brahms Op 118, # 2 Intermezzo in A Major. Andante teneramente — was a highlight of the "Raise Your Voice" Concert convened at the Lincoln Center Kaplan Penthouse in New York City. It features Shun-Yang Lee, then an award-winning student at the Bard Conservatory of Music. Timed on the eve of the United Nations MDGs Summit in September, 2010, this Concert raised awareness about 
the deep connections between all eight UN Millennium Development Goals and the core Goals of Child & Maternal Health — MDGs 4 & 5. ​ This video demonstrates how the Concert also shared a widescreen photo-journalism series depicting these connections.

This Concert was Co-Sponsored by CoNGO — the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the UN — and by NIGH, one of the Founders of the 2010 International Year of the Nurse / Florence Nightingale Centennial — dedicated to advocating for the achievement of all eight UN MDGs.
 
This Concert's photo-journalism music message was the initial idea for NIGH's 2012-2014 'Daring, Caring & Sharing' Maternal Health Awareness Campaign.
 
This video is accessed from NIGH's archives. Mr. Lee has granted NIGH full permission to share this video by this means. At the time of this Concert, Mr. Lee was also serving as a volunteer in the CoNGO offices in New York City.  His photo, left, is accessed from Mr. Lee's Linkedin page and used with permission.

This music performance is from Op 118, # 2 Intermezzo in A Major, Andante teneramente written by Johannes Brahm.s.  Composed in 1893, this piece is from a group of six piano pieces considered to be Brahms' ‘penultimate work composed for piano solo.’  

1893 was the same year Florence Nightingale wrote her last important essay 'Sick Nursing & Health Nursing' commissioned by Queen Victoria to be included in the British Royal contribution to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. One of the most famous quotes from this essay is Nightingale's definition, 'Health is not only to be well but to use well every power we have.
