It seems fitting to be in Gdańsk, Poland, to meet the new youth orchestra of Eastern Europe.

Poland’s medieval ship-building port is where the first bullets of the Second World War were fired and half a century later it became the birthplace of Solidarity.

The new orchestra, named I, CULTURE, seeks to overcome the political and cultural gap.

The orchestra is the cultural arm of a complex political body, reported The Herald daily of Scotland.

Its musicians, aged between 18 and 28, come from Poland and countries of the Eastern Partnership - a group of former Soviet states comprising Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

They speak to each other in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, English, Azerbaijani, and Armenian.
