For 19 years, the
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra has brought together young musicians from Israel
and the Arab world, with the aim of promoting peace through dialogue and mutual
understanding.
The Orchestra was
founded in 1999 by renowned conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, whose work
is recognised by the UN, through his role as a Messenger of Peace.
Following a concert
at New York’s Carnegie Hall, Maestro Barenboim visited Secretary-General António
Guterres at UN HQ on Friday.
After the meeting
Conor Lennon from UN News sat down with him to find out what he thinks the
Orchestra has contributed to relations between Israel and Palestine, described
by Maestro Barenboim as a “conflict that doesn’t seem to have a solution.”
He started by asking
what it means to Maestro Barenboim to be a Messenger of Peace.
