Tues, Nov. 27th . 7:00pm - 8:30pm. Vancouver for Peace Film Night - The Ramallah Concert
This month will be something different. On August 21, 2005 a historic concert was given by The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in Ramallah. This orchestra was the product of a remarkable friendship between the renowned Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim and the late Palestinian-born writer Edward Said. It is a unique musical collaboration dedicated to further the cause of peaceful coexistence in the Middle East. The orchestra is a creation of Barenboim and aims for closer Israeli/Palestinian co-operation. It contains the finest young musicians between the ages of 14 and 25 from both sides of the divide and includes Israelis, Palestinians, Libyans, Syrians and some young people from Spain.
Den Mark Wichar’s review: “Beethoven’s Symphony Five, Elgar’s incredible “Nimrod”, & a wrenching epilog. This will NOT be a regular film nite experience. Seeing & hearing young Israelis & Palestinians making music together is bittersweetly moving & hopeful.”
Location: St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 426 E. 4th Plain Blvd, Vancouver. (Parking off F Street)
Time: Doors open at 6:45 PM. Movie starts at 7:00. Discussion following. This is a Vancouver for Peace event.
Open to all. Admission free.
