It looks really eclectic on paper.

Elena Bashkirova, Barenboim’s wife,  brings her classical crew from the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, but the big draw is world star Noa  and there are dj kings from Tel Aviv’s clubland, the Arab-Jewish piano Duo Amal, my favourite oud player Yair Dalal, an Ethiopian ensemble and much else of a bewildering diversity.

Happening in Hamburg, second week of February. More here.
