I think that this questions has probably been asked many times but it bears asking again. When people from different cultures choose to perform each others music, it is a way of honoring that other culture. In my lifetime I’ve probably heard more Western European classical music that any other type, but there are millions of other types and genres of music that could bring comfort and peace to many people. Listen to this beautiful performance of some of the music from “Schindler’s List” (written by American John Williams) sung and played by a Chinese group of musicians! Listening to it again brought tears to my eyes, thinking of the atrocities visited on the Jewish people in the 30’s and 40’s. The more people don’t forget this, this less likely it will ever be perpetrated again on anyone! Sing for Peace!

While doing some late night channel surfing last night I came across a story on CNN about the New York Philharmonic playing a concert in North Korea. I was very successful! Maybe we should replace politicians with musicians.
I would definitely vote for that Gerry!! Sounds like a great idea for world peace!
