In 2006, Dobbs was invited by the Foundation for Culture and a Civil Society
(FCCS) to participate in the New Year’s Music Festival held in Mazar-e-Sharif,
Afghanistan. The biggest musical event in Afghanistan with musicians from
Pakistan, Iran, India, Tajikistan and Afghanistan participating, the festival was
started by the FCCS in 2003 after the fall of the Taliban, which had prohibited
music of any kind. In 2007, WADAN began hosting Dobbs’ performances in
schools, orphanages, rehabilitation centers and government training workshops,
all supporting the rebuilding effort in Afghanistan. BWV began a “Music for
Afghanistan” campaign collecting instruments and sheet music for the
Vocational Music School, the only school of its kind in Afghanistan. Concerts
have also been presented at the schools of Afghans 4 Tomorrow and the
American Friendship Foundation.
