Please go to the following URL to read about the concert what Slatkin said and to see links to reports about the looting. If we can do something as a group I would be on board with that.

I was happy to hear that the Iraqi Symphony was playing again.
I was in Baghdad on tour with a jazz group in the middle 60's and was invited
to play with the orchestra while I was there.
There were quite a few European players in the orchestra then.
I was suprised at how well the orchestra played (even if it was at about
a=448).
They had some pretty incredible gypsy type violinists back then.
One of the horn players was from Switzerland and was there because he was
studying middle eastern languages.
If anyone has any connections with musicians there who might need music,
mouthpieces, or other accessories, please post whatever addresses you have and
maybe some of us could send them some things.
