Germany - World Expo

About the Project

This Music Bridges event was unique. Its sole aim was to highlight the power of cultural exchange through music - our very core - at the World Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. 40 writers and artists from over 25 countries - some from countries that were at the moment in bloody conflict with each other - proved that music is truly a bridge across any division. The result – a compilation album, an epic concert performance, and a documentary film. And maybe even more importantly, the friendships created between those in which it was said could not be friends.
