Groundbreaking UK Tour From Multi-faith Musical Collective Berakah

LONDON, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



London-based organisation The Berakah Project unites musicians from Jewish,


Christian and Muslim faiths. A UK tour from June 2015 celebrates 10 years of this


revolutionary collaboration



The Berakah Project [http://theberakahproject.org ] (Berakah), the not-for-profit
music organisation, has today announced its "Decade-One" UK tour, along with the
first-ever performance of the Berakah Multi-Faith Youth Ensemble. The tour marks ten years
of Berakah uniting people and faiths through the power of music.



The tour kicks off in Central London with a concert at St. James's Piccadilly on 4th
June, and continues to Brighton, Luton, Leeds, Rotherham and Oxford. In recognition of
Berakah's valuable work in bringing unity to Britain's communities, the tour is being
funded by The Arts Council of England [http://www.artscouncil.org.uk ].



With a mixture of World Music, Jazz, Blues and traditional elements drawn from Europe
and the Middle East, the tour will also showcase new music, written specially for the tour
to celebrate their first ten years. The London date will also feature the Berakah
Multi-Faith Choir and will introduce the newly-formed Berakah Multi-Faith Youth Ensemble.
The Youth Ensemble comprises musicians - vocalists, keyboard and guitar - from different
cultures and faiths, aged 16 to 21.



Mohammed Nazam, the founder of The Berakah Project, says: "Each and every time we
perform I see the power of our music melting the differences between people and bringing
us together in one joyous group. Berakah's ability to unite people across different
communities and faiths is always an amazing and uplifting experience. Making music and
showing how it brings us all together is a unique experience." He adds: "For our new tour
we have worked closely with local community organisations to plan the concerts to make
sure that community members are involved and have the opportunity to come together in a
spirit of unity and celebration. I am immensely proud of our Youth Ensemble, which
represents the future of Britain."

About Berakah



Berakah, set up ten years ago, is an inter-faith music initiative dedicated to
crossing the boundaries of race, religion and culture through music. The core aim of this
not-for-profit organisation is to promote dialogue and understanding between people of
different faiths. Music can often build bridges that other wouldn't exist, especially if
there is a powerful and positive message in the music itself. The Berakah Project (meaning
Grace or Blessing) promotes this message perfectly.
