Photography: Palestine & Israel: SJF Rehearsal

Sounding Jerusalem is the only festival in the Middle East that is an independent and artistic meeting place for all people, transcending ethnic, religious, social and cultural backgrounds. It aims to unite the widest possible audience to hear masterpieces of classic chamber music, classic Arabian music, traditional Jewish music, and interdisciplinary improvisations played by talented young musicians, renowned local and international artists in unique settings in East Jerusalem, West Jerusalem and the Westbank.

The following photos were taken during a SJF rehearsal, which drew the attention of many locals.
