In 2003 the Muscatine (Iowa) Children’s and Youth Choirs initiated an exchange program with youth in war-torn Gjakovë, Kosovo. The Kosovar youth participate in the Kosovo Children’s Music Initiative, which is sponsored by the Shropshire Music Foundation. In 2004, 12 youths from Gjakovë spent two weeks in and around Muscatine. On July 25, 2005, 32 Muscatine residents including choir members departed for a two-week journey to Gjakovë, Kosovo. This is our story.
On Friday, August 5th, our Muscatine choir members performed an outdoor concert at the ZR school with fellow SMF volunteers and SMF program participants. The group performed so well (despite the chilly weather) that even the neighborhood chickens came into the school yard to listen!
