OMF is a professional, international music festival dedicated to performance, promotion and development of classical music. As a summer music festival the event seeks to fill a gap in the city’s classical music offerings, in particular in the area of symphonic music. OMF is led by the Artistic Collegium (a group of distinguished musicians), managed by a professional staff and governed by local citizens. OMF is committed to high musical standards, the latest in music scholarship and music education. The festival seeks to engage both local and international artists and present a spectrum of complementary works with a core emphasis on one or more composers. OMF’s education efforts are channeled through Orpheus Academy Northwest which provides mentoring to young local musicians by festival’s resident artists.

Young active citizens are mobilizers in creating sustainable impact at the local level, and throughout this event, participants identified action steps to create positive change looking toward the future through 2030.

On a video posted on Facebook, via independent Iraqi media channel Soutuna, Wasfi said that he wanted to respond to the bombing with music.
He said: “It’s my way of expressing my feelings”. He sat playing the cello as a crowd gathered around him. Shop owners also stopped cleaning and listened to the man playing in the middle of war zone.
Pictures and videos of Wasfi went viral on social media and got thousands of comments supporting his performance.
