Fwd: East West Divan in Today's Guardian
Daniel Barenboim's west-eastern Divan orchestra
The conductor and his young orchestra try to bridge the divide between Israel and the Palestinians with music.


[Grace Said says:] Below is a link to a video that the Guardian produced today on the East-West Divan.  For those of you that do not know, the East-West Divan is an orchestra founded by my brother Edward and Daniel Barenboim.  The orchestra includes Israeli and Palestinian musicians.
