When the Action for Hope Music School announced that it was looking for talented children to train, his family encouraged him to attend the school. A year and half later, the now 14yearold, Youssef, with another 11 children, was chosen to take part in a concert.
Youssef, a shy boy, was a lead singer in the concert. He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs.“We only heard the sound of a mortar (迫击炮). It fell near us. Many buildings fell down. That is all I remember，” said Youssef.“Music makes me forget everything. Music is the most important thing.”
