Heartbeat, an ensemble of Arab and Jewish artists aged 17 to 21, has performed across Israel, the Palestinian territories and Germany. Their program features uplifting performances interweaving traditional and modern music from East and West.
Members also share experiences of growing up amidst the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting their creative effort to build a better future.
Based in Jerusalem, Heartbeat is an international nonprofit organization uniting musicians, educators and students to build mutual understanding and transform conflict through the power of music.
Heartbeat was founded in 2007 with support from a Fulbright-mtvU Award. Sharing in sustained music-based dialogue, Heartbeat artists develop creative nonviolent tools to express themselves and become voices for their communities.
Heartbeat seeks to combat the tidal wave of separation, fear, violence and injustice in the Middle East with powerful sounds and voices calling for cooperation, equality and peace.
