Music Diplomacy in Europe

It was thrilling to finally have a chance to visit a uniquely important center for music diplomacy in Europe, the Barenboim Said Academy, in Berlin, Germany.

I am so grateful for the invitation to give a lecture, meet students and staff, and learn all about their innovative activities. Particularly during this time, when tensions in the Middle East are surely as difficult as ever before, it is exciting to see what is being accomplished in Berlin through the unique power of music. 

I am eager to return, and look forward to new collaborations and opportunities to report on their inspiring activities.
