Youth Orchestra in Iraq??!!

[saturn_pianist]

Hey Music/Piano Lovers 

I thought I'd let you know about this, There's a new show in United Kingdom's channel 4 called Battlefront, this battlefront thingy will support 20 youth campaigners with seemingly big issues. But apparently none of them is eye-catching as campaign # 18 -- Music For A Change. The campaigner is promoting a project to gather young Iraqi musicians aged (14-25) to make a youth orchestra in Baghdad! If you don't believe it, go see yourself :

They've also interviewed the campaigner.. very interesting stuff, indeed : https://battlefront.co.uk/catch-up/blog/post/i-ask-zuhal/


I think it's wonderful to find music or people who think of music in places you can never imagine! This is very inspiring and wonderful , if you think the same, I think we should show some support.


Cheers!

  True, music can and does bring people together. I'm glad you found this websight, this way you can print sheet music and find like minded people for advice and suppot. I'm sure being a student of music in Iraq is no joke.   
 
Ciao.

Why do think it's surprising? I listen to a fair share of Arabic music daily. I've never been to an Arabic state before, I'd like to visit such places one day. 

Btw, the links are very interesting. Thank you.
