Keeping Faith - New Brunswick Youth Orchestra - page 17

The power ofmusic, amplifiedby youth and their passionwill help embed the
facts and lessons ofwar inour hearts aswell as our heads.We keep faithby
raising awareness among today’s youngpeople – among all of us really –of the
importance of cultivating tolerance, international understanding andpeace.
Today, someCanadians continue tomake theultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of peace, a
sobering facet of ourmodern age.We turn to themwith appreciation and support. Yetwe cannot
leave the taskonly to those on the front lines. Educatingourselves to treasurewhatwehave, and
recognizewhat it cost, and then to choose roads topeace alsohonours the legacywe receive.
Sowe invite you to reflect on the price paidby somany, and to revel in themusic. Through
the “KeepingFaith” tour, theNBYO strives to replace the clamour of battlewith the sound
ofmusic that resonateswith the idealism, genius, hope andpromise of our youth.
