Heartbeat, the Israeli-Palestinian youth music community, bring their powerful sound and messages to the states in an effort to end violence and promote equality. The ensemble of accomplished Arab and Jewish youth artists (ages 18-24) has toured across Israel, Palestine, Germany and the United States, including performances and briefings at the US Congress, State Department, and some of the world’s most celebrated universities and music venues. 

Heartbeat's performance delivers their dynamic blend of Eastern and Arabic music, Western rock, hip hop, jazz and reggae. Throughout the concert, the musicians share personal stories of growing up amidst the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting their creative effort to build positive social change from the ground up. Heartbeat’s fourth US tour aims to amplify the voices of the silent majority of peace-seeking Palestinians, Israelis, and Americans to advance dignity and freedom for all people.

This event will be facilitated by the Oberlin College Dialogue Center. Event sponsors are Oberlin Hillel, politics department, J Street, and Oberlin Muslim Students Association.
