WEST-EASTERN DIVAN ORCHESTRA, CONDUCTED BY DANIEL BARENBOIM, TO PLAY A CONCERT
FOR BENEDICT XVI
Vatican City, 3 July 2012 (VIS) - The conductor Daniel Barenboim and the
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra are to play a concert for Benedict XVI. The event
will take place on 11 July, St. Benedict's Day, at the Apostolic Palace of
Castelgandolfo, and the
programme will feature works by Ludwig van Beethoven, whose music will be the
focal point of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra's summer tour.
After its opening performance in Munich, Germany, on 10 July the orchestra
will take in Versailles, France; Geneva, Switzerland; the BBC Proms in London,
England, and the Salzburg Festival in Austria, among other venues. The concert
scheduled for
Berlin's Waldbuhne on 29 July will be one of the highlights of the "Beethoven
for All" summer tour and will again be in aid of educational projects
organised by the orchestra in Israel and Palestine.
"Benedict XVI has long promoted active dialogue between Jews, Christians and
Muslims", says a communique on the event released today. "In 1999 Barenboim
and Edward Said founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, a grouping of
musicians from Israel,
Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey and Spain. Every year
they come together for summer workshops, which take their inspiration from the
spirit of music and a willingness to engage with the views and experiences of
the assembled
musicians, each with personal ties to the troubled situation in the Middle
East".
