Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the ensemble made up of exciting young musicians from Israel, Palestine and across the Arab world.

We're very excited and pleased to announce a special live event taking place Tuesday, Jan. 29: a rare and intimate evening with Daniel Barenboim and members of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Working in collaboration with our friends at New York's (Le) Poisson Rouge club, WQXR and with the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University, we are presenting these artists in the intimate and relaxed setting of LPR in a lively evening that will embrace both Western and Middle Eastern music.

While you can log on to enjoy the live video and audio webcast, fans in and around New York will have access to a lovely treat: the opportunity to enjoy the performance at LPR in person. Limited free tickets are available to attend this special event: email WEDO@lprnyc.com to make your request. Please note that ticket requests are first-come, first-served!
