Join us for an evening panel celebrating Edward W. Said and pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim’s collaboration, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, and the many projects that have developed since this journey began. Co-founded by Professor Said and Daniel Barenboim, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra promotes coexistence and intercultural dialogue by bringing young Israelis, Palestinians, and Arabs together to make music. 

The panel features Mariam C. Said, Vice President of the Barenboim-Said Foundation (USA); Michael Barenboim, Dean of the Barenboim-Said Akademie; and musicians Miriam Manasherov and Samir Obaido; and will be moderated by Professor Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies.
