Palestinian orchestra to hold debut concert in Ramallah
The Palestinian National Orchestra will play a mix of Palestinian classical compositions, as well as some classics such as Mozart and Beethoven. They will also hold concerts on 1 January in Haifa and Jerusalem.
...The group is an initiative of the Edward Said Conservatory of Music, named after the late Palestinian writer and academic, and was formed in 1994. The programme also consists of a piece by the modern Hungarian Jewish composer, Gyorgy Ligeti, both of whose parents were sent to Auschwitz.
About that Ligeti and Auschwitz reference, his mother survived and when Ligeti died in 2006, his funeral was held at the Vienna Crematorium at the Zentralfriedhof.
Crematorium???
And incidentally, they may be playing music but their sports interests are still plain terror.
