This Thursday, a Palestinian youth orchestra will play at the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, performing with Nigel Kennedy. Kennedy has refused to play in Israel, telling an Israeli newspaper in 2007: “I was really shocked when I saw the wall [that divides Israel and the West Bank] here. It’s a new type of apartheid, barbaric behaviour. How can you impose collective punishment and divide people from one another? We are all residents of the same planet. I would think that the world learned something from South Africa. And the world should boycott a nation that didn’t learn. That’s why I won’t perform in your country.”
