    Thank you Sally for this wonderful article. If there is going to be peace in the world, what better way to bring people together than through music. Maybe one day Andre and JSO orchestra could bring his beautiful music to that region, but for now Maestro Barenboim has taken the courage to do just that for that region. I feel the passion of this gesture as you do for sharing it.

      Hi Martha:
       
      I just love these brave musicians.  Practicing & Putting on concerts while under armed guards.  Showing the world that people from all walks of life can live and work together as a group, as a unit and that it can produce something beautiful.
       
      I think you said it correctly, Passion.  Passion for Peace.

    Sally, what a wonderful article. A ray of light amidst darkness in the Holy Land. If any of you follow the thread of Yehudi Menuhin's life, you will see he also felt that music could bring about world peace. This is a subject for long discussion, of which i am not able to do....been having a super dooper cold and back to bed i go...maybe it will still be being discussed next week? Just HAD to check in...L

      Dear Lorraine>  ZICAM  .  Cold Relief Nasal Spray.  You spray it in your nostrils, (do not inhale it up higher as an allergy spray).  I tried it and it snapped my cold away.  Good Stuff.

      The ART of the VIOLIN.  I hope you get my card soon.  This is a wonderful DVD.  There is so much information, and yet it is entertaining to the point one forgets they are learning.  I've played it 3 times already.  I also enjoyed seeing violinists speaking about themselves and each other.  Their insights into music and how it is played.  They respect they have for the craft, for the music and their admiration of others is wonderful.

    Hi Sally!
    Yes, you are correct passion for peace and it is really brewing
    around and when people feel this passion universally the world could change at least that's my hope and no matter what religious or non-religious persuasion. It's "Brotherhood" in the truest since of the word a word to ponder for deep meaning. Andre knows this very well because he has musically expressed this in his concerts with his arrangement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony with Carla and Carmen singing it with passion and beauty. I think that piece is a keynote for peace at least the way Andre and JSO perform it, it always touch my heart when I see their expression. Thank you again, it's always a pleasure to check in....

    Lorraine, I hope you feel better,I'm just getting over my cold for almost a month.

    Have a very Happy Christmas with lots of joy!
