ADAP Thessaloniki Cultural Crossroads 2011
Music reminds that friendship and brotherhood can be maintained and improved by its universal language which conveys, in its deepest truth, the magic capability of bringing together even the most controversial peoples or ideas.
Artists of ADAP (Association of Artists for Peace), coming from different origins, are convinced that mutual comprehension, goodwill and dialogue might overcome any political disagreement and will make our world better to live.
Thessaloniki, at the crossroads of South East Mediterranean, have been witnessing, since centuries, numerous peoples and travellers living their multicultural differences all together.
A city which has such historical roots for peace hosted a major event, pointing to new Routes for Peace.
Eight piano masters from nine different origins (Greek, Turk, Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, Armenian, Iranian, American, Israeli) were on stage, sharing the same keys of two pianos, with the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra under the direction of John Georgiadis, as a powerful call for a sustainable peace.
The concert took place in the frame of the “Thessaloniki Cultural Crossroads 2011” programme, hosting the greatest admirable cultures of the world all around the city.
