The Sabreen Center, The Jerusalem Music Center, The Heartbeat Project, the Qud Festival, and the rappers all essentially believe that music has the capability of functioning at a deeper level than just the notes or words that we hear. The Jerusalem Music Project explains it as a belief that "music is about inter-human communication and cooperation, social involvement and cultural relevance." It is through music that people have the opportunity to connect on a musical level, an ideological level, and even a spiritual level. These groups also seem to present the idea that through this connection, there can be at least a discussion of, if not a movement towards, peace.
I am excited to hear from Aaron of the Heartbeat Project on what his motivations were initally and if he has seen his goals and plans reach success or some level of success.
