“All those who know me know that I have always been convinced that the arts, including music, play a leading role in the cultural and spiritual growth of the person and in the development of a collective consciousness, eliminating differences in favor of both the social inclusion of individuals and a constructive dialogue between peoples. – says\u00a0Prof.\u00a0Att.y\u00a0Emmanuele\u00a0FM Emanuele, President of the\u00a0TerzoPilastro\u00a0Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cRestarting from music means offering young Lebanese a precious possibility of expression, thus transcending the narrow space in which they are confined today. The World Youth Orchestra works to spread a message of peace and understanding among peoples, but this year our commitment takes on an even deeper meaning: art, an essential nourishment for the human soul, is in fact a powerful tool to deal with the current crisis\u201d, declares\u00a0Maestro\u00a0Damiano\u00a0Giuranna, Founder and musical director of WYO.<\/p>\n
