A musical journey
into middle eastern culture and creativity which was performed
at St John's, Smith Square in January 1999 with three international
musicians, each born in the Middle East. Introducing the concert,
Wissam Boustany (flute) said:
"If
peace is about people's attitudes and hearts softening towards
each other, then music is undoubtedly one of the strongest catalysts
for this, independent of any political process that may or may
not be in place. Let music be a reminder to us all that people
from the Middle East are continuously seeking opportunities to
work together for a better and more peaceful existence. For centuries
music has played a major role in softening the perceived differences
between people around the world. May music live to continue converting
inspired thought into inspired reality, for our fragile planet."
