Harmony in the midst of conflict: Music’s power to unite across Mediterranean divides

Featuring voices from Italy, Lebanon, Greece, France, Cyprus, and Turkey, the conversation will examine how creative and engaged professionals of these regions navigate complex social landscapes, using music as a means to foster unity, inspire hope, and bridge divides.

Our distinguished guests will explore how music serves as a powerful tool for resilience and healing in societies marked by political tension and historical turmoil. Through shared experiences and cultural insights, the discussion will focus on music’s ability to challenge narratives, promote dialogue, and help communities heal and rebuild in the face of adversity.
