There are not many artists who engage so strongly not only in the artistic domain, but also in the social and political spheres, as the Argentine-Israeli pianist and conductor resident in Berlin, Daniel Barenboim. Especially noteworthy is his music project initiated and realized together with Edward Said, an American of Palestinian background and esteemed philosopher, music and culture theoretician and critic. In 1999 they created an Arab-Israeli orchestra named West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, made up of young musicians who come from war-torn countries of the Near East (Palestine, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, etc.). In accordance with the principles of its founders the ensemble carries a “message of peace” to the world. Through music, joint workshops, concerts, discussions and conversations a gradual leveling of judgments and mutual prejudices on the people, history and culture of the nations represented by the musicians takes place. This is the best proof that not only is understanding possible among discordant nations despite political, cultural and denominational differences, but even friendships can be established. Thus, Barenboim’s claim is confirmed that the solution of the conflict in the Near East lies not in military measures but in the people.

The aim of the article is to present an original initiative (whose originator and animator is the Argentine-Israeli pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim) to create in Berlin a college with a musicalhumanistic profile as an institutional platform for dialog and understanding among young people coming from war ridden countries of the Middle East (Syria, Israel, Palestinian Authority, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon). The academy is expected to educate around 90-100 young musicians from Middle East countries. The establishment of an experimental cultural-educational institution, the Barenboim-Said- Akademie (8 December 2016) deserves attention for a variety of reasons: political, cultural, educational, social. It is an interesting phenomenon because of the many functions to be performed by the Academy itself (its fundamental task being education and learning: tutoring in music and humanistic subjects), its students (perfecting their professional skills and learning the history and culture of another nation through music), and last but least the institution as a music center (offering Berlin and its citizens an original concert hall). The study attempts to communicate the message and main assumptions of the initiative with an emphasis on the support it has received in Germany from different institutions ranging from the Bundestag, through the federal government (especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the government of the FRG for culture and the media) to other bodies cooperating in the creation of the Academy. Thanks to the determination and unfailing endeavors of one individual it was possible to create a music college dedicated to performing, on a neutral ground, educational, integrative and political functions for people from other cultural environments. Germany is a country with an openness to other cultures and a favorable socio-political climate for the development of artistic personalities and initiatives towards integration and peace. The indirect observation method was used in the study; it was based on information and materials collected by the analyzed institution as well as on interviews and utterances of competent politicians.

The long awaited opening of the Elbphilharmonie, the new hall of the Hamburg philharmonic raised an avid interest not only among the inhabitants of this city. Indeed, the occasion turned out to be an event of a much larger scale and socio-cultural significance, important not just to music lovers in Germany and worldwide, but also prominent from the perspective of the prestige of the proud city of Hamburg. The solemn opening concert on January 11, 2017 was attended by many leading representatives of the world of politics, culture and business, as well as music lovers from Germany and abroad, journalists, music critics and correspondents from all over the world. On account of the flourish of the structure, its unique form, external circumstances and expectations concerning the acoustics, this impressive cultural project posed an immense architectural, technical and above all financial challenge. From the beginning it provoked doubts whether the work could be successfully completed, so when the construction was finally brought to an end, the satisfaction was all the greater. The object of the study is to present the conception of the entire enterprise and the various purposes that the building serves, with a focus on the merits of the Great Concert Hall and its acoustics. Also the first reactions and commentaries following the official opening of the new building are considered. From the numerous accounts it can be concluded that the Elbphilharmonie has undoubtedly become a new icon of the Free City of Hamburg.

The recent influx of refugees to Europe on an unprecedented scale especially in the second half of 2015 has met with varied, generally very skeptical responses in the host countries or countries of their potential relocation. For Germany, which is the destination of the largest number of refugees (mainly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran) who have fled from persecution and terror, the situation poses a great challenge. The German society responded with considerable openness to the needs of the immigrants and initiatives for the benefit of refugees were also joined by cultural and artistic circles. Surprisingly many projects and grass roots initiatives have been undertaken with the aim of assisting the newcomers to get accustomed to the new environment and integrate through music. The impulse came both from professionals and amateurs, young people (mostly music school students) as well as renowned public figures. The text presents a broad spectrum of different types of activities and joint initiatives undertaken by individual people and organized groups (choirs, bands, societies, associations, etc.) for the benefit of refugees and together with them in order to enable them to participate actively in performing music, to help them master the German language (through learning songs and musical games), to give them an opportunity to relax from the treadmill of day to day existence by inviting them to involve in concerts organized specially for them and above all to facilitate their integration with the German society.
