Feature: Greek-Turkish Youth Orchestra celebrates 10 years of building cultural ties

Members of the Greek-Turkish Youth Orchestra (GTYO) perform at Zappeion hall in Athens, Greek, on Sept. 8, 2017. Ten years ago, Leni Konialidis brought together a group of young Greek and Turkish musicians with the belief that through music, longstanding rivalries could be overcome and friendship could flourish. Ten years later, the Greek-Turkish Youth Orchestra (GTYO) toured Greece for its tenth year this September as an exemplar of intercultural dialogue that builds bridges of communication over the Aegean Sea.
