An exceptional orchestra of classical western and Arab instruments performs a new composition by composer Merlijn Twaalfhoven.

Different worlds come together on one stage: professional musicians from Europe and the Middle East, students and teachers from the National conservatories in Palestine and Jordan and children from the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan.

The music will be a combination of a symphonic composition, creative sounds developed with the children and the rich living tradition of Arab music.
