Members of the West-Eastern Diva

Members of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra perform under the direction of Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim during a concert at Seville`s Maestranza theatre, Spain, July 29, 2005. Barenboim`s West-Eastern Divan Orchestra`s young musicians include Arabs, Palestinians and Israelis. Through it, the composer and his late partner, Palestinian writer Edward Said, hoped to use music to heal Jewish-Arab tensions. The orchestra is based near the southern Spanish city of Seville and the Spanish government has issued diplomatic passports to all its members so they can travel freely to the Palestinian territories and other Middle Eastern countries, Barenboim said.
