Benefit Concert Gives Iraqi National Orchestra a Boost
The Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra, and its affiliate the Music and Ballet School in Baghdad, received a much-needed boost at Musicians for Harmony's benefit concert on September 10 held at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. The concert program, which helped purchase instruments and supplies, featured an all-star roster of chamber musicians, including the Juilliard Quartet, the Shanghai Quartet, and three members of the Guarneri Quartet with pianist Anne-Marie McDermott. Also on the program was Iraqi oud player Omar Bashir, making his North American debut.
