Album Notes

The power of art to change the world:

ATZILUT:CONCERTS FOR PEACE is an incredible project: the ten-member ensemble features Arab and Jewish musicians in concert together. Instrumentation: Arabic vocals, Hebrew vocals, flute, violin, 'oud, bass, four percussionists (all hand drums). No speeches--the music is the message! This amazing group exemplifies the potential for creativity between two groups both musically and beyond. This work is an important statement in multi-cultural tolerance.

CONCERTS FOR PEACE (also known in Europe as the MIDDLE EAST PEACE ORCHESTRA) is more than an optimistic social statement. This project is a successful creative partnership, in which the artists involved generate an exciting and satisfying musical experience that clearly demonstrates the potential for the peaceful Middle Eastern milieu of the future.
