EDITOR’s NOTE: The World Affairs Council of New Hampshire will host a speaker instead of the Apple Hill Chamber music group on December 3 because one of the musicians was injured in an accident. Click here for the updated event information.
Playing for Peace, a program of New Hampshire’s Apple Hill Center for Chamber, will perform on Monday, December 3 from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at UNH Manchester, 88 Commercial St. in the multipurpose room. The program is sponsored by the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire (WACNH) as the final program in its Global Tipping Points Series, focusing on how music can change the world. Tickets are $10, and are free to WACNH and Fulbright members, and to UNH students and staff.
Playing for Peace brings people together from conflict areas around the world to teach them how to play chamber music together. They use the skills of listening, watching, adjusting, sensitivity, and flexibility to play together, as well as to build relationship that can strive for change back home.
Founded in 1988, Playing for Peace focuses on social change and connection through music. Apple Hill travels to areas where there is a history of conflict—in the Middle East to Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, and the West Bank/Palestine; to England, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland; to the Greek and Turkish areas of Cyprus; to the Caucuses area of Eurasia; and to many US cities, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Memphis, Los Angeles, and San Francisco—performing concerts and leading chamber music workshops.
This program will be presented in partnership with UNH Manchester’s homeland security, history, humanities and politics and society programs, and the Fulbright Association.
