%X [Individual identity and musical practice in intercultural contexts. The experience of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra]. This article focuses on the famous youth orchestra founded in 1999 by Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said. Every year, young musicians from Israel and Arab countries together spend a period of training and playing in an orchestra that holds concerts all over the world. According Barenboim and Said this promotes mutual understanding between people coming from geopolitical and national realities in conflict. This article focuses on the philosophical and intercultural meaning of this experience and interprets it according to the theory of multiple identities by Amartya Sen and the specificity of the language of music.
