UNITING
We unite young Iraqi musicians from all backgrounds, Sunni, Shi'ite, Kurdish, Turkomen, Assyrian, Arab, male, female, through their intense passion of music.
EDUCATING
We audition annually by YouTube and deliver proper music teaching and cultural experience to create a youth orchestra in which Iraqis, and everyone involved, can take pride.
CONNECTING
We go abroad as Iraq's premium cultural ambassadors, working alongside young musicians from our host countries, and performing in major concert halls.
REBUILDING
We use our experience to rebuild Iraq's culture by teaching, creating new ensembles and writing music.
