The World Philharmonic
Orchestra (WPO) is the orchestra
of the 21st century. The WPO was created so that 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.
