No Borders Orchestra (NBO) is made up of outstanding professional musicians from every country, religious and ethnic group of the Western Balkans. Its mission is two-fold: creating excellent music and raising awareness of social issues.

NBO is itself a testament to the need for, and possibility of, music overcoming national and communal differences for the sake of common good. No challenge demands that same spirit more than the world now. Humanity needs to come together, put aside differences, and develop an overriding common purpose. We believe our experience bringing together people in the Balkans through music demonstrates what is possible.

With the Turning Point Tour 2024, NBO invites everyone to look into where we are presently as well as to obtain and acquire enough courage in order to face the reality we all live in. Wars, increasing social inequalities, pollution, climate change and the destruction of remaining natural zones, has brought the world to a breaking point. There is a need to transform on many levels. NBO sees this crisis as an opportunity, a chance to grow as a society and unite in the fight for peace and understanding. It is necessary to open ourselves to others and to profoundly transform the way of living. It is crucial to act now!

The Turning Point traverses the aesthetic crossroads of Schoenberg, Strauss, and Mahler, composers whose works are emblematic of a pivotal era straddling the late Romantic tradition and the onset of Modernism. At the same time, the Tour mirrors our own era’s critical juncture, resonating with the perspectives of contemporary thinkers, politicians, and philosophers who see striking parallels between the world today and the tumultuous period preceding World War I. That period, much like our own, was a world in crisis, oscillating between the untenable Old and the necessary but uncharted New, a world searching for meaning in the midst of meaninglessness.

Through this thematic exploration, the project confronts our present-day challenges, mirroring a world once teetering on the edge. Yet, amidst this somber reflection, the Turning Point embodies a message of hope, imploring us not to let history repeat its darkest chapters but rather to transcend our mistakes and forge a path toward a more enlightened and united civilization. This powerful narrative is not just a reminiscence of a world at the brink, but a beacon of optimism, guiding us to emerge from these troubling times as a stronger, more harmonious society.

Accompanying these historical masterpieces will be four newly commissioned contemporary works, from leading composers from the region: Davor Branimir Vincze (Croatia), Marko Nikodijevic (Serbia), Nina Perovic (Montenegro), and Darija Andovska (Northern Macedonia). These pieces will serve as thematic bridges within the program, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between the past and the present, thematise explicitly the dramatic situation in which the world is right now and pointing towards the future.

The Turning Point is set to culminate in the recording of a new release for Deutsche Grammophon, followed by a promotional tour across Europe in 2025. NBO holds an exclusive contract with Universal Music. Its first CD, entitled “The Opening”, was released in 2015 by Deutsche Grammophon, one of the world’s most prestigious brands in classical music.
