Music As A Blueprint for Making Peace | Lili Haydn & Opium Moon | TEDxGateway (TEDx Talks)

https://youtu.be/EBe6YbThXUQ

Grammy Award winning ensemble Opium Moon shows that through deep listening, complete presence and true acceptance we can combine our individual voices to create tolerance, understanding and freedom both in our hearts, and in our conflicted world.

The way they make music together is truly a template for how the transcending of borders can generate a peace both internal and external. Opium Moon is a band of immigrants, hailing from Israel, Iran, the U.S. and Canada, intent on creating peace through harmony. The four Grammy-winning master musicians (Lili Haydn -violin, Hamid Saeidi – santoor, MB Gordy – percussion, and Itai Disraeli – bass) connect their diverse and rich traditions with profound mutual respect, crafting a timeless and otherworldly sound – and a blueprint for peace and conflict resolution. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
