Organized
by Mehri Madarshahi, this
extra-ordinary concert promotes a genuine dialogue, based on respect for shared
values and dignity of each civilization and culture
through its melodies and music.
"Melody
for Dialogue among Civilizations" has so far produced new concerts around the world with a similar
format – but with different musical programmes and performing artists and
musicians.
In
addition to its major concerts at UNESCO-Paris, the Association accepted an
invitation from the then President of Nigeria, to hold its first regional
concert in Abuja namely: Africa, but not only,..
and its second regional concert was held this February in Havana, Cuba
"Latin America, but not only".
"Magic
Flute, but not only" was performed at UNESCO on the occasion of the
closure of its 60th anniversary and Mehri for her innovative approach to
promote respect for cultural diversity and the culture of peace, was awarded
UNESCO’s sixtieth Anniversary Medal by the Director-General.

was nominated to receive the 2005 International Marrakech Prize for
the first concert organised by the Association in Rabat, Morocco.
