Ramzi Aburedwan

We talk about a young Palestinian whose discovery of music changed his life and ultimately the lives of others.  Mindy Todd speaks to Sandy Tolan, a journalist and author whose work has reported and commented on Palestine and Israel for many years.  His latest book is Children of the Stone: The Power of Music in a Hard Land about an effort to build a music school in the midst of Israel’s military occupation.

Also on the program: Ramzi Aburedwan, the man whose discovery of music changed not just his life but also the lives of many Palestinian children. 

Both Sandy Tolan and Ramzi Aburedwan will be in Harwich on September 25th for a concert and presentation about the book.
