Summary
Performance by the UN Chamber Music Society and Sara Marley – daughter of artist-musician Ms. Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, at the Opening of the Transforming Education Summit.
Description

The Transforming Education Summit is being convened in response to a global crisis in education – one of equity and inclusion, quality and relevance. Often slow and unseen, this crisis is having a devastating impact on the futures of children and youth worldwide. The Summit provides a unique opportunity to elevate education to the top of the global political agenda and to mobilize action, ambition, solidarity and solutions to recover pandemic-related learning losses and sow the seeds to transform education in a rapidly changing world.

The event will feature a performance by singer Sara Marley and pianist and UNCMS President Brenda Vongova of "The Conquering Lion" by Lauryn Hill [Original lyrics by Bob Marley].  Founded in 2016, the UN Chamber Music Society is dedicated to promoting the United Nations' goals and values at large - through the universal language of music.
