The Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin, founded by renowned conductor Daniel Barenboim, brings together students from across the Middle East to study music. However, the recent Israel-Hamas conflict has tested their ideals of peace and unity. The war has prompted intense discussions among the students, with some questioning whether they should continue making music together during this time.

Daniel Barenboim remains committed to his vision of bringing Israelis and Palestinians together through music, even as the conflict continues.
