Clara Luciani, Florent Pagny, Pascal Obispo, Carla Bruni, Eddy de Pretto, Barbara Pravi, Julien Clerc, Zazie, or even the orchestras of Radio France. Dozens of artists will be on stage Tuesday, March 8 at the Maison de la radio et de la musique to bring a message of peace, on the 13th day of the war in Ukraine. An exceptional concert live and in public broadcast on France 2, TV5 Monde and France Inter.
The objective is to collect donations for the Ukrainian people, via the Red Cross: on the association’s website croix-rouge.fr or by SMS (send DON to 92200). “It is the role of the public service to be present at that time. It shows all its usefulness”, welcomes Arnaud Ngatcha, the director of special operations with the general management of antennas and programs of France Televisions.
“We can all be proud of this mobilization of public audiovisuals. As we have already been able to do for Lebanon or Notre-Dame.”

It’s a feat to have put together such a show in a few days, whereas weeks are generally essential to put on such an exceptional show. Arcom, formerly called CSA, also contributes its stone to the building: “We asked him for permission to have advertising pages after 8 p.m. It is normally prohibited. Arcom said yes. A marketing was therefore made and I can tell you that it has already brought in 500,000 euros . A sum that will be entirely donated to the Red Cross”, concludes Arnaud Ngatcha.
