PMF Chorus and Orchestra

The Palestine Mozart Festival Chorus and Orchestra comprises musicians from Palestine and abroad, particularly including the UK and Germany. Members of Palestinian choirs from Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Ramallah join the Choir of London (directed by Jeremy Summerly) to form the PMF Chorus. Participating local choirs are the Choir of the Custody of the Holy Land (directed by Hania Soudah Sabbara), the Jerusalem Chorus (directed by Hebe de Champeaux), the Olive Branches Choir (directed by Aurelio Mulè) and Zaridash (directed by Marion Haak). The PMF Orchestra consists of students and teachers from the Barenboim-Said Foundation, Al Kamandjâti and the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, alongside musicians from the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie sponsored by the Goethe-Institut, and the Choir of London Orchestra. These combined forces are directed by Timothy Brown.
