עוד, לא אבדה תקוותינו

It is still to early to announce the revival of a musical Golden Age in the Middle East, but the Oud Festival, which continues to gain popularity and momentum, is certainly a harbinger of hope in this bloodied zone of conflict.
...the Oud Festival, in its finest tradition, will bring together cultures of the Middle East and farther afield, focusing upon the oud, "the king of Arabic musical instruments", alongside its relatives from other cultures: lute, kamanja, saz, guitar, cello, and violin. This year the Festival will bring us music from Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, Greece, Sicily and, for the first time, Rajasthan in northern India.
