“The Helsinki Project is a compositional showcase contrasting textures, tempos, melodies, langauges and voices, moments of excitement, moments of peace. The human capacity for hope pervuades the harshness - the raw materials for a fuller and richer life..."

“Jason Carter builds extraordinary bridges between cultures. He brings the best of Western musical art to the East, but does so in ways which are aesthetically and culturally sensitive. We were proud to have Jason with us.”
Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles - British Ambassador, Kabul, Afghanistan
"The shared joy of music bridges other barriers formed by differences of language, culture and politics. It creates opportunities to find new approaches to resolving old problems and to form partnerships in the world of ideas and expression. Through his enthusiasm and commitment to reach out to audiences and other musicians of all ages, in some of the least accessible parts of the world, Jason helps to build much-needed relationships across borders that the technological forces driving globalisation could never achieve”
Neville McBain - Director British Council, Tehran, Iran
