Make music, not war

I happen to be a news junkie... and as I read about the middle east problems, I recalled something I read conductor/pianist Daniel Barenboim saying in a book of conversations between him and Edward Said.

He described a European youth orchestra project that he had been involved in, and how an Israeli student and a Palestinian student ended up as standpartners, and eventually became friendly, as a result of their shared musical experiences.


The word "harmony" can be used interchangeably with "peace" for a reason.
