The inauguration of the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin marked a new phase within the political and educational engagement of musician and pedagogue Daniel Barenboim.

Almost 20 years after the founding of the West-Eastern-Divan orchestra, another project of intercultural understanding is derived from the friendship between Barenboim and the Palestinian humanist Edward Said.
