In Production: Orchestra Of

Exiles / Documentary

Orchestra of Exiles is the story of an

eccentric moral powerhouse of a man, a

Polish Jew named Bronislaw Huberman

who, in his time, was one of the most

famous violinists in the world. After a 4-

year odyssey, which culminated in 1936,

he succeeded in creating a top-flight

symphony orchestra in the desert

outback of Palestine with the great

Arturo Toscanini as its first conductor.

Huberman’s Jewish musicians were among

the best players of Europe; they were

escaping a world torn apart by anti-

S e m i t i s m a n d N a z i a g g re s s i o n .

Huberman’s selfless efforts ultimately

saved almost 1000 Jews from the

Holocaust and changed the landscape of

cultural history.

In 1948, the orchestra Huberman created

in 1936 changed its name to the Israel

Philharmonic Orchestra and the young

Leonard Bernstein conducted the first

moving concerts inaugurating the birth of

the state of Israel.

Orchestra of Exiles is being written and

directed by Oscar nominee Josh Aronson

(Sound and Fury) and will be premiered

at the IPO’s 75th anniversary in

December 2011 in Tel Aviv, Los Angeles,

and New York.

and private sector partnerships in the cultural and

creative industries in developing countries.

In recent years great progress has been achieved in

developing the cultural and creative sector but

there is still a lack of capacity building tools in

creating effective partnerships.

The new Global Alliance web platform was created

with this need in view. The beta version of the

website is an online resource of assessment tools,

fact sheets, case studies and how-to guides on

forging and creating public and private sector

partnerships. It details the conceptual framework

for creating partnerships and outlines the key

players and principles of bringing parties together.

The website also offers advice on developing the

aims and objectives of a partnership and tips on

finding and negotiating with suitable partners.

There are also templates on how to draw up

contractual agreements and sample evaluation

tools.

The website is for cultural organisations that are

seeking partnerships and don’t know where to

begin. It is also for organizations and institutions

that have successful stories to share. The Global

Alliance brings together cultural industry

stakeholders who need advice or have advice to

give. It is a meeting place and a growing community

of practice where cultural industry stakeholders

can discuss challenges and exchange views.

Visit the website, join the community, use the tools
