During times of social reconciliation and efforts to establish a basic and stable economic system the arts are an important issue. In connection with recent discussions on globalism F.W.C.P.A. believes, the arts, both local-traditional as well as western classical, may play an important role in the development of the new Cambodia. While a focus on traditional art forms (including contemporary developments) strengthens the identity within Cambodian culture, a festival presentation of Western classical music may even support such developments. In contrast, presenting Western Art music in the sense of a historical development supports the key idea that such progress is always only possible in the respective culture itself. In other words, the experience of Western Art Music as a historical process may help to revitalize the same consciousness in Cambodian people concerning their own classical music traditions.
