Osnabrück Morgenland Festival 2006
The Osnabrück Morgenland Festival wishes to promote the dialogue between the East and West and its world religions with performances of Middle Eastern traditional and avant-garde music.
On this occasion the Teheran Symphony Orchestra will perform together in concert with the Osnabrück Youth Choir. The artistic director has invited outstanding artists and mediators of cultural dialogue to participate in the festival's programme, including Daniel Barenboim, Shirin Ebadi and Rabih Abouh Khalil.
