Description
Violinist Michael Barenboim fulfilled a dream when he founded the Nasmé Ensemble at the Barenboim-Said Academy a few years ago: musicians from Palestine who want to offer a forum for the composers of their homeland. Alongside classical chamber music, they invite you to make new discoveries – Syrian-American composer Kareem Roustom and Salvador Arnita, an influential representative of the Palestinian music scene in the twentieth century.
