“The National Music Council of the United States (NMC) grieves over the terrorism and violence that has shaken the Middle East this week and joins the world in mourning the loss of all innocent lives. As music community representatives, we are especially saddened by and appalled at the murder of over 250 attendees who had gathered at the Tribe of Nova Music Festival in Israel to enjoy a musical celebration of peace and international unity, only to be met by barbarism beyond description. It is our greatest hope that justice and peace will prevail throughout the region, and that the global music community can help --as it so often does-- both to comfort the bereaved and to inspire greater striving toward an end to terrorism and a better and more secure future for all."
“The National Music Council of the United States joins the International Music Council and its regional group for Europe, the European Music Council, in expressing solidarity with our brave Ukrainian colleagues and the Ukrainian people under the current deplorable circumstances of invasion and war. We also support our Russian colleagues who are engaged in protest against this barbaric invasion of Ukraine at great personal and professional risk. We are deeply concerned about the lasting consequences of the war for the entire world, and the threats that it represents for human and cultural rights, and we pledge to do all we can to be of assistance to all of our friends and colleagues in these horrifying times."Latest News
