The music was composed by Merlijn Twaalfhoven, and included existing Arab songs and melodies resulting from intensive collaboration between the composer and Arab musicians and singers during the compositional process.  Refugee children who had never played in a concert before prepared with workshops, and played a substantial part in the actual performance.  The audience was extremely moved and reacted very enthusiastically.  After the show, I received many positive reactions from the musicians, children and audience alike.  This experience is being incorporated into new initiatives and future projects, intended to continue creating music projects that bring contrasting cultures together.
