The World Philharmonic
Orchestra (WPO) is the orchestra of the
21st century. The WPO was created so that, once a year, the
universal language of music would offer a message of peace and
fraternity to the whole international community, uniting and
bringing closer all nations through the participation of soloists
who represent the symphonic orchestras from all countries ( more than 80).
The WPO
is the only orchestra in the world simultaneously
combining these three qualities:
1. Artistic and musical excellence:"Grand
Prix du Disque" of the Charles Cros Academy - All WPO
musicians are first desk players in their home orchestras
(solo 1st or 2nd);
2. Universality: The WPO
has been cited as a unique example of international
standardization by the ISO (International Organization for
Standardization). The WPO --surely one of the world's most ethnically
and culturally diverse organizations-- performs to the
highest musical and artistic standards through the universal
language of music;
3. Public service to international
charities: UNICEF Medal - UNESCO - United Nations
- Red Cross.
