| Mr Miguel Angel Estrella and the The Orchestra for Peace gave a concert at UNESCO HQ |
04-12-2004 3:00 pm The Orchestra for Peace, founded by the Argentinian pianist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Miguel Angel Estrella, gave a concert on the occasion of 30th anniversary of ACAT (Action des Chrétiens pour l’abolition de la torture), which took place on 4 December 2004 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. It was the Argentinian pianist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Miguel Angel Estrella who had the innovative idea of creating an Orchestra for Peace bringing together Arab and Israeli musicians. The Orchestra for Peace sees itself as a promoter of non-violence, an activist for the continuation of peace talks and an advocate for the dialogue between people, cultures and religions. The Orchestra for Peace plays classical, oriental and traditional music from both communities, as well as creations by contemporary composers.
The orchestra consists of 41 musicians who daily share moments of work, relaxation and meals. The members of the orchestra are of Arabic or Israeli origin and come from 14 different countries: Algeria, Argentina, Egypt, France, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, the United States of America and Uzbekistan.
