Knowledge is the Beginning Daniel Barenboim & the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra Daniel Barenboim established the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra with the late Palestinian writer Edward Said in order to bring together young musicians from across the political divide in the Middle East. Their hope was that music would heal & help to bring understanding & tolerance of different beliefs & cultures.
