Julian Rachlin has been a Goodwill Ambassador to Unicef since 2010. He has successfully produced and participated in a number of related events, most recently representing Unicef at the Life Ball in Vienna with President Clinton and other celebrities.

Unicef's celebrities have a wide range of talents and achievements, but they all share a commitment to improving the lives of children worldwide. And in each case a celebrity's association with Unicef comes about because he or she has already demonstrated that commitment.

Fame has some clear benefits in certain roles with Unicef. Celebrities attract attention, so they are in a position to focus the world's eyes on the needs of children, both in their own countries and by visiting field projects and emergency programs abroad. They can make direct representations to those with the power to effect change. They can use their talents and fame to fundraise and advocate for children and support Unicef's mission to ensure every child's right to health, education, equality and protection.

Julian Rachlin remains committed to improving the world through education and outreach to those less fortunate and unaware of the beauty and joy of classical music.
