    National Youth Orchestra of Iraq- inspirational.

    I heard about this on The Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning so since then I have found out a bit more. Youngsters learnt instruments through the Internet, self-taught, practised in secret whilst car bombs and shooting going on. Now an orchestra performing in the UK.

    With all they have been through, I hope they find comfort in music.
