In 2014 the World Orchestra for Peace and conductor Valery Gergiev returned for it's fourth appearance to the BBC Proms stage to commemorate the centennial of the outbreak of WW1. The concert featured Roxanna Panufnik's Three Paths to Peace, an orchestra commission, Mahler's Sixth Symphony, and the Symphonic Fantasia from Richard Strauss' Die Frau ohne Schatten. Founded in 1995 by Sir Georg Solti, The World Orchestra for Peace is made up of leading players from the world's finest orchestras. Includes a documentary honoring the orchestra's 20th anniversary, Charles Kaye's From War To Peace.
