An easier journey was had by Mostafa Saad, the 21-year-old concert master and lead violinist, whose two brothers and sister also play with the orchestra.
None of the Saad brothers did army duty, despite coming from Israel’s Druze Arab community, whose men usually serve in the Israeli military.
“Once you play with your friends in #Palestine you can never imagine yourself holding a rifle instead of your instrument,” he said.
