This project is built on a pioneering concept, aiming to create the first comprehensive phonographic collection of classical music composed by those tragically victimized during wartime.
It will also mark the worldwide debut of several recordings from the recovered music sheets. In addition to preserving the original scores that survived intact, the project includes meticulous arrangements of damaged and censored manuscripts, breathing new life into works that were nearly lost.
The repertoire will be expanded to include new musical instruments, allowing these composers’ works to be reimagined and integrated into modern performances with an enriched instrumental diversity.
Positioning itself as an international reference in classical music, Lost Souls of War seeks to raise global awareness about the critical importance of preserving cultural diversity. This goal is realized through the collaboration of artists and entities from various nationalities, united in this shared cause.
By engaging multiple organizations and individuals, the project provides a truthful representation of the sociopolitical climate of that era, shedding light on the impact of war on artistic expression.
In these troubled times, when the foundations of human values appear to be crumbling, we envision this project as a beacon of hope—a reminder that art holds the power to heal and unite.
Through this endeavor, we seek to rekindle art’s essential role in society, as a force for
reflection, compassion, and transformation.
The project aims to leave behind a manifesto—an appeal to preserve and honor our cultural heritage. By safeguarding the art of the past, we nurture the spirit of the future. In doing so, we strive for a world where culture is cherished, and our shared legacy stands as a testament to humanity’s resilience, survival, and essence.
