Description:

A groundbreaking album recorded remotely by the first orchestra of musicians from 197 countries around the world! For the first time in history, 197 musicians from every country in the world, created to unite the world, come together to sing one new song. The album's theme, "Together is Beautiful," was composed by George Fenton (BAFTA award winner and Oscar nominee). He wrote the song with the ambition to record it using one musician from every country on earth. Two years later we managed to complete the recording all together, although it took some time due to the global pandemic. Footage of the participants taken with cell phone cameras further highlights the cultural and technical diversity of the project and forms the basis for a documentary that will be released alongside the recordings.Directed by Jamie Wolfeld ("Another News Story," 2017, "Magnificent & Epic," IMDB), the documentary on "Earth Orchestra" features Syrian exile and professional viola player Raghad Haddad, Romanian folk musician and double bass player Michael Cretu, and some of the incredible stories of the musicians involved in the project. Also featured are Bat-Elden Victor Nyamdavaa, a throat singer and matouqin player from Mongolia; Dai Lee from Korea; Zuhal from Iraq; Garnel from the Bahamas; Vishal from India; Jali from Gambia; baritone singing in the Sistine Chapel Patrizio La Placa, and many others tell their amazing stories, highlighting the importance and power of music for everyone on the planet.We all live in different countries, we all speak different languages, we all have different cultures, but in the end we are just making this one music that can be so beautiful and unifying!
