∙ His acclaimed conducting work earned the maestro six Grammy Awards and an induction into classical music’s Gramophone Hall of Fame.
∙ The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra—an ensemble he formed in 1999 as a way to promote dialogue between young Arab and Israeli musicians—has performed for the Pope and the United Nations.
∙ France, Germany, Italy, and the UK have awarded him their highest honors for his musical and humanitarian achievements.
∙ He was the first person ever granted both Israeli and Palestinian citizenship and was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace for using music to bridge cultures.
