Description:

Join us at Busboys and Poets for a special performance by Heartbeat, the Israeli-Palestinian youth music community.

Based in Jerusalem and Washington, DC, Heartbeat unites Israeli and Palestinian youth musicians to build critical understanding, develop creative nonviolent tools for social change, and amplify their voices to influence the world around them. Engaging in an ongoing music-based dialogue process, Heartbeat youth develop creative skills to express themselves and become agents for change; partnering to build a safe, equitable future.
