Concerts for Babies Transform Stages Into Communities
Paulo Lameiro, Founder and Artistic Director, Concerts for Babies
In my small Portuguese village of Pousos, between the giant waves of Nazaré and the Shrine of Fátima, we had a community band. I joined at age 8, playing flugelhorn. I’m forever grateful for this decision, which launched a life in music.

Reaching Across Continents to Help Children Make Music
Jef Neve, Belgian classical and jazz pianist and composer
About 15 years ago, when I was on tour in Africa, I was lucky enough to meet the late Bob Collymore, Founder/CEO of Safaricom Kenya and one of the most inspiring people on the planet.

En el Circo Social Sirkhane, la cooperación cultural no es un acto de equilibrismo
Sahba Aminikia, compositora iraní-estadounidense afincada en San Francisco; fundadora del Flying Carpet Festival
El Circo Social Sirkhane es algo más que un lugar donde aprender técnicas circenses: es un santuario de alegría, curación y expresión creativa para niños que han sufrido el trauma de la guerra, el desplazamiento y la inestabilidad social. Con sede en Mardin (Turquía), cerca de la frontera con Siria, Sirkhane ofrece un entorno seguro y enriquecedor en el que niños de diversos orígenes -sirios, turcos, iraquíes y kurdos- se reúnen para aprender, actuar y jugar.
