Talk:Strings of Freedom

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The name of the group provided in the article is "Strings of Freedom". If "Jenin Youth Orchestra" is an alternate name, please provide reference for that. Also the group is of questionable WP:NOTE, and definitely fail all criteria of WP:MUSIC. The Holocaust survivor incident, while somewhat minor, is more notable than the group itself. I would suggest finding a suitable home for this incident rather than creating an article about the orchestra. It would be nice to have an article on normalization between Israelis and Palestinians, which would include arguments for and against, as well as normalization attempts such as this concert and the reception in Israel, in the PA, and in the media. On a separate note, we should have an article about the "Palestine Youth Orchestra", which is a much more established orchestra associated with The Edward Said National Conservatory of Music. Ironically, a Google search of "Palestinian Youth Orchestra" (with quotes), returns references to reactions to the Jenin group's Holocaust survivor concert (mostly from AP)! --Fjmustak (talk) 22:07, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
