    "It is a magnificent initiative. More than ever, all of our energies must be mobilized to promote peace in the Middle East. I wish to congratulate you personally and to give you my support and encouragement to achieve its aims."

    Jacques CHIRAC - Former President of the French Republic (1995-2007)


    "The Orchestra for Peace is a fine initiative. But will the sounds of music be enough to cover those of soldiers marching? No, surely not.
    But it is a step in the right direction if the latter is no longer the only thing we can hear.
    Creating music in place of where men fight and suffer is to push back barbarity a little, and that in itself is a large gesture. Miguel Angel Estrella and his Orchestra for Peace merit our thanks, our respect and our encouragement."


    Elie Barnavi - Former Ambassador of Israel to France (2000-2002)


    "(…) The project of an “Orchestra for Peace” composed of musicians from the Middle Eastern countries brings with it a ray of hope, a shining light that only music can bring, one that brightens the souls of men and women, bringing them reconciliation through true communion".

    Leila Shahid - Representative of the Palestinian Delegation in Europe
