‘Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us’ Anonymous

Writing about his art form, the U2 frontman Bono famously said : “Music can change the world, because it can change people”. U2’s portfolio over the last 25 years would suggest there is truth in this statement – art can change the world.

The month of July 2008 will include musical and artistic events which aim to demonstrate that good art, far from being removed from the great global and local issues of today, is at their spiritual centre. Indeed reverberations from such art go out from it and impact women and men such that the world is changed.
