Checkpoint Music
The Qalandiyah checkpoint, which over the years has become increasingly fortress-like, had yet to witness such a sight. Young people streamed toward it from both sides, armed with suspicious black cases and metal poles. The cases turned out to be for musical instruments, and the poles were folding music stands.
The youth belonged to the Ramallah Orchestra, whose musicians are from across the city, Palestinians and foreigners, who operate under the auspices of the local Al-Kamandjati (in English: the violinist ) Conservatory.
Beneath a corrugated metal awning set up at the checkpoint, which abuts the Qalandiyah refugee camp and serves as a filter for entering Ramallah, the musicians opened their stands, took out their instruments and played a slew of classical segments - from Bizet's "Carmen" to works by Grieg and Mozart.
The tremendous tension at the checkpoint, where huge crowds seek to cross, never knowing if they will get it, dissipated for a moment. The crowd surrounded the orchestra and smiles spread for a long time.
The protest concert, which brought the music from Ramallah to the point where it is possible to encage and block people - but not the sounds - served as the finale for the second two-week summer festival of Al-Kamandjati. This was the sixth time it coincided with the international Music Days Festival, which marks the first day of summer, on June 21. This year, the festival got bigger and featured many musical groups, including the Ramallah Orchestra, the Jenin Orchestra, the Camps Orchestra and the Al-Kamandjati Choir, as well as Arab music ensembles from Ramallah and Jenin, and jazz, hip-hop and percussion ensembles. At cultural centers and schools from across the Palestinian territories, in Hebron, and Qalqilyah, Tulkarm and Abu Dis and in the Qalandiyah, Shuafat and Jilazun and Al-Amari, Balata and Nur Shams refugee camps, people gathered to listen to concerts.
In the orchestra, in the first viola chair, and also in the chamber music ensembles, one can always spot a young man playing intensely, and when he is not playing, he is directing and encouraging. This is Ramzi Aburedwan, the founder of Al-Kamandjati and its director. His story has been told many times - "the child with the stones" from the first intifada who used to lead kids in a run on IDF jeeps, stones in his hands, and who was injured several times by live fire from the soldiers. He stopped his violent behavior when he became a classical musician playing strings.
