The whole Vivendi group (Paris:VIV) has decided to play its part
in the immense show of solidarity towards the Lebanese people
deeply affected by the explosions early August in Beirut.
As part of this, the Group is to sponsor the fundraising evening
and music show "Unis pour le Liban" (United for Lebanon) and has
made the iconic Olympia hall in Paris available for the artists and
organizers of the event over four days of rehearsals and for a
special October 1 concert night. A limited audience will attend the
event fully complying with the strict sanitary regulations
currently in operation.
Several international artists from Universal Music Group will
perform during the show to be broadcast on TV and radio stations
France 2 and France Inter, including Sting, Mika, Clara Luciani,
Florent Pagny, Melody Gardot, Soolking and Grand Corps malade.
Editis, Vivendi's publishing arm, launched a program at the end
of August to offer several thousands of books and textbooks from
its publishing houses Nathan and Bordas to the students preparing
their French baccalaureate.
