Peace of Mind

While Israel and Palestine remain locked in conflict, two pianists from these nations bring a ray of hope to this situation through music. Tonight at Severance in the Reinberger Chamber Hall, Duo Amal will prove music can break through political boundaries. Yaron Kohlberg and Bishara Haroni collaborate in a meticulously playful manner in rarely performed musical selections, joining forces as a symbol of peace. “Amal” is an Arabic word that translates to “hope,” and tonight at 8, these musicians will harmoniously work together in what’s sure to be a thrilling concert. Kohlberg and Haroni will hold a pre-concert talk at 7, led by Charles Michener. (Eric Gonzalez)
