West-Eastern Divan Orchestra / Barenboim / Shani

Barenboim’s passion project

»I take pleasure in many things in life, but in some form music is my constant companion. This is probably the reason why I have never been able to fully express myself with words like I can with music.« Barenboim moves the world as a pianist, conductor, and human being, and he has been awarded numerous prizes for his efforts to promote understanding between cultures. Whether as chief conductor in Paris, Chicago, or at La Scala in Milan, Barenboim’s musical path has always been unstoppable.
