IRAQ-CONFLICT-MUSIC

Famed Iraqi maestro and cello player Karim Wasfi performs in front of the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Hour in Mosul's war-ravaged Old City on June 29, 2018, one year after the mosque was destroyed during battles to retake the city from the Islamic State group. Wasfi is known for turning up with his cello to play in the aftermath of bombings in the capital Baghdad, alleviating pain through the soothing power of music.
