Video: Israeli Mission to UN Brings Together Pianists from 11 Countries to Play One Piece
(Times of Israel) The Israeli Mission to the UN sponsored a project involving one piece of music played by pianists from 11 countries. The "United Pianos" project with Israeli musician Idan Raichel involves a melody from Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." The video features pianists from Israel, Turkey, U.S.A., Vietnam, the Bahamas, Germany, India, Australia, Russia, South Africa and Poland, each playing a part of the arrangement in their own country. "Music is a global language, it has the power to unite us together, by bridging cultural and political gaps," said Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon.
