West-Eastern Divan Orchestra / Daniel Barenboim

Between vision and responsibility

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and its founder and long-time director Daniel Barenboim have more in common than just an artistic collaboration. Since 1999, the ensemble has stood for the idea of facilitating dialog through joint music-making - across cultural and political boundaries. Barenboim's work with young musicians from the Middle East is not just an artistic project, but a living conviction: Sound as a space for encounters, precision as a prerequisite for mutual listening. An evening that juxtaposes musical extremes arises from the demand for dialog.
