ST. PETERSBURG: Classical music has a proven record of building bridges between cultures, improving lives and enriching communities, which makes recent accusations of elitism and racism all the more unfortunate, Russian-Kurdish opera star Svetlana Kasyan told Sputnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent headlines show that the realm of classical music and arts is being dragged into the “woke” public debate, with all its tenets not conforming to today’s moralistic standards being discarded as prejudiced.
“Classical arts have a unique power to unite people. It is a shame that these beautiful art forms are labeled racist,” Kasyan said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The healing phenomenon of classical music is widely used across the world, has been scientifically proven and observed for many for centuries,” Kasyan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In December, the singer released her first solo album under the title “Fratelli Tutti”, which in Italian means “we are all brothers” showcasing her message of multicultural togetherness that classical music can prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She dedicated it to the 85th birthday of Pope Francis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
