Countdown to the "Music Does Not Have Barriers" Concert

The “Music Does Not Have Barriers” concert, which brings together handicapped musicians from Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria, holds its first performance at the Izmit Süleyman Demirel Cultural Centre on Saturday 9 August 2008 at 20:00 hrs. The concert will be repeated in Bulgaria in November 2008 and again in 2009 in Italy.

The project is led by the Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality and supported by the European Union through the Grundtvig Programme, a component of the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme. The project aims to rehabilitate disabled people through the universal language of music, to improve the attitude of society towards disabled people and to stimulate new friendships amongst the participants.

In partnership with EURGEMS from Italy, The National Library for the Blind ”Louis Braille” from Bulgaria and the Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality from Turkey, groups consisting of disabled people were established in these three countries and have received voice and instrument training.
