Music is a great instrument for peace and equality in the world and this is one message an upcoming, young musician is trying to let his audience know through his concept, ‘Music for Universal Peace and Friendship.’
A renowned violinist, who has performed on various high profile concerts and events, in and outside India, Faiz Mohamed is embarking on an ambitious project of travelling to various countries and performing with musicians from nearly 100 countries around the world.
“My dream is to perform with as many people as possible from around the world. This is my humble message to the entire world that music can be a great platform to come out of the differences and usher in global peace and friendship,” said, Faiz.
Faiz was in Qatar to take part in the country-wide launch of an Indian movie, Lucifer where he performed in the presence of a number of leading superstars of the Indian film industry.
“I plan to travel to as many countries as possible and meet and interact with musicians there. I have already started the preparations for the same. Later, I plan on performing with these musicians at a live programme on a large platform. If any of them cannot come for a live performance, I will record my performance with them,” he explained.
“My plan is to bring musicians from these countries and perform together. So there will be a minimum of 100 musicians playing on stage with me. The fusion programme from various genres of music will be a great feast for the music lovers. I am planning for a concert that lasts for more than two hours,” continued Faiz.
Faiz has already performed with musicians from 44 countries at a concert which was highly appreciated by some of the best musicians in the Indian film and music industry. He thinks that Qatar is an ideal spot for a bigger performance as the country is pushing ahead in promoting music and culture in a big way. Moreover, he feels that there is a large global population here as the Qatar community has representation from most countries in the world and there will be enough representation from each country to enjoy the concert in its true sense.
“This is a humble attempt to connect the world through music. I plan to send out a message that music brings everyone together and brings equality among people and nations.”
“My intention is to encourage the nations to forget their differences with others and bring them on the table for dialogue and harmony,” he added.
