In 1999, Daniel Barenboim, together with the Palestinian literary scholar Edward Said, set up the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra which brings together young musicians from Israel and the Arab countries every summer. The orchestra seeks to enable a dialogue between the various cultures of the Middle East and to promote this through the experience of making music together. Musicians of the Staatskapelle Berlin have participated as teachers in this project since its foundation.
