World Youth Orchestra returns to Lebanon with WYO4CHILDREN project

NNA - Spreading the universal language of music to fill the educational and social void caused by the global pandemic and the financial crisis, while helping to reduce the distance between people. With this objective in mind, the World Youth Orchestra Foundation returns to Lebanon with the WYO4CHILDREN project, thanks to the important support of the Culture and Art Foundation - instrumental body of the Terzo Pilastro - Internazionale Foundation, chaired by Prof. Att.y Emmanuele FM Emanuele - which works for the promotion of cultural and artistic initiatives in the name of solidarity, as well as the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Beirut. Six young violin students, aged seven to fourteen with problematic histories and originally from different regions of Lebanon, will benefit from it. All of them have recently been forced to halt their musical training due to pecuniarydifficulties and to the restrictions related to the coronavirus. They willbe taken care of by Ramzi Kandalaft, one of the teachers who are part of the large family of the World Youth Orchestra in the world, through individual lessons via videoconference, as long as the anti-Covid restrictions remain in force.
