BOWIE, ENO, STOPPARD, M.T.V. IN A PROJECT FOR MOSTAR

LONDON, May 23 (Hina) - The project for a multi-purpose music centre in Mostar, sponsored by the "War Child" humanitarian organization, was presented Monday evening in the London MTV (Music Television) studio. The project gathered well-known rock-music figures such as David Bowie and Brian Eno, the playwright Tom Stoppard, and the MTV manager Brent Henson. "The Mostar project is unusual in several ways. It will probably be the first significant new building since the war started, and so it will symbolize everyone's hope that life is going on," said music producer and ambiental composer Brian Eno on his return from Mostar, where he had toured the site of the building, accompanied by architect Nick Lacey. The school itself would be different from standard music schools inasmuch as it would have a special musical therapy department for war-traumatized children. The school would be constructed upon the ruins od a former primary school in the eastern part of Mostar. The project, worth four million pounds, has already started. Architect Lacey had made a model, which was presented in the MTV London studio. The presentation also included a film about Mostar, which would be partly broadcast on MTV, and an exhibition of war photographs. The occasion was attended by Croatian and Bosnian diplomats and other officials. (Hina) bk 231227 MET may 95
