According to the statement of Yılmaz Özfırat, the head of the association “by sharing some extant local beautiful values, the choir aims to open new horizons and draw humanity closer to beauty and truth, and by using music’s universal language it strives to act as a bridge between civilizations.”
In the repertoire of the chorus, there exists songs
HISTORICAL RELEVANCE
Although the choir is rather new, the concept of it perfectly fits with the historical background of the region, multi-ethnic and multi-religion society that is still valid today.
INTER-RELIGIOUS RELEVANCE
This initiative is a clear praise to cultural outcomes of faiths through music. Its effect is more inter-cultural rather than inter-religious.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE
There is no religious influence to speak of. This is more about living together and to be aware of the existence of “the other”.
