A historic concert by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in the West Bank, conducted by Daniel Barenboim.

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra was created in 1999 by Israeli-Argentine conductor Daniel Barenboim and American-Palestinian writer Edward Said with the aim of establishing a musical institution that could foster peace and bring Jews and Arabs closer together. In concrete terms, every year eighty young musicians from Israel and neighboring Arab countries — Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories — come together under the direction of Daniel Barenboim to prepare a new program and demonstrate to the world, through their example, that a shared creative purpose can overcome the conflicts and tensions arising from the difficult political history of the Middle East.

The concert by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in Ramallah was a highly symbolic event: for the first time, the orchestra performed in the West Bank. For this historic occasion, Daniel Barenboim conducted, before an audience of political leaders involved in the peace process, Sinfonia Concertante, K. 297b by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven, and the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar.
