Staff - Music Por Israel

Staff and volunteers

Music Port is a nonprofit organization funded by donations and volunteer work of those who believe in the power of music.
Music is a universal language of mankind. It is a great uniter.
It has incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.
It is magic, harmony, ecstasy and refuge. Music should be made known, spread abroad, communicated, should be free, open and shared. “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams” (Arthur O’Shaughnessy)
