Opus 3 Artists is excited to announce North American representation and a 2025 tour of the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble. The ensemble, led by concertmaster \u00adMichael Barenboim, draws upon players of the West-Eastern Divan \u00adOrchestra. Founded in 1999, the West-Eastern Divan \u00adOrchestra’s origins lie in the conversations \u00adbetween its creators, Edward W. Said and Daniel Barenboim. Over the course of their friendship, the Palestinian author-scholar and Israeli conductor-\u00adpianist discussed the urgent need for an \u00adalternative way to address the Israeli-\u00adPalestinian conflict. This evolved into the globally renowned orchestra which has toured extensively for over 20 years. The group is comprised of Arab and \u00adIsraeli members, defying fierce political divides in the Middle East and globally. Through its work and existence, the orchestra demonstrates that bridges can be built to encourage people to listen to the narrative of the other. The West-Eastern Divan Ensemble is the most recent imprint of this \u00adproject and brings the highly praised artistry of the orchestra into an \u00adintimate \u00adchamber music format. The group embarked on its first tour in early 2020, appearing at venues across the U.S. In February 2023, the ensemble returned to the US where they played several concerts on the east and west coasts, including the 92Y and the UN Headquarters in New York and Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami.<\/p>\n
In March 2025, the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble will return to North America with a program that includes works by Schubert and Pierre Boulez’s ambitious Livre pour quatuor<\/em>. The ensemble is also available for residency opportunities and further educational initiatives.<\/p>\n Learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Opus 3 Artists is excited to announce North American representation and a 2025 tour of the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble.
