　Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. "Music is my life," he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldn't even touch a piano.

"It is everyone's dream to play in Carnegie Hall."

　Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the king of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she' s heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn't yet had a chance to listen to them.

　Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. "No. not yet," he answered, adding, "I hope I will be able to."
