For 15 years, Khurmal was a silent town. The Islamic Group of Kurdistan, an Islamist organization that controlled the town and others in northern Iraq near the Iran border, had forbidden people from playing or listening to music.
But thanks to a US Army soldier from Cape Cod and a US charity, musical instruments are on their way and music will soon sound through Khurmal once again.
Thanks for the ping Tonk!

The Iraqi orchestra performed in Dallas last week - great reviews. Several hundred Iraqi refugees live in the area and literally begged for support before the war.
A great opportunity to build bridges through the beauty of music.
