So we finally got to Gaza...

What a mindblowing experience. Such kind, hospitable people in such a truly appalling situation. Sure, there are probably a few radicals somewhere in that land but we didn't get to meet them thankfully, no... we played a Baroque concert (4 Seasons, Vivaldi A minor, etc) which went down a storm, then after the concert there was so much energy we just hung out with the kids for an hour or two, playing christmas songs and Bach and pretty much anything they asked for... Drew taught some of them how to play viola, and Simon met up with some of the violin students he already gave a Masterclass to via videoconference - yes, there are now 15 violin students at the Gaza Music School! (it got blown up last year during the invasion, but they've found a temporary building somewhere else).
