Swiss Global was invited to Dallas, Texas to participate in Earth Day celebrations.  Earth Day is a day early each year on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.

Swiss Global was on hand at the Australian Embassy in Washington DC in March, where Australian-Taiwanese violinist Ray Chen performed as part of the Embassy Series. The Foundation collaborated in the production of this concert, which featured a unique musical experience followed by a reception where audience members were encouraged to meet the performers.

The Embassy Series extends public access to the embassies in the national capital, and offers its audience the opportunity to participate in a cultural exchange - to watch and listen to a musical performance that highlights the contributions of a particular country.
