Reminder ~ come join the Anti-Fascist Marching Band to give the IPO an appropriate welcome!
Benaroya Hall, 2nd Ave between Union & University
Saturday February 26th at 7:00
This Saturday, February 26th, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is coming to perform at Benaroya Hall. Be there with us to the musical accompaniment of the Anti-Fascist Marching Band to give the IPO an appropriate welcome.
The IPO is described by the American Friends of the IPO as "Israel's finest cultural emissary." American Friends of the IPO further notes that "the goodwill created by [the IPO's] tours...is of enormous value to the State of Israel. As a result, the IPO maintains its position at the forefront of cultural diplomacy and the international music scene."
By serving as cultural ambassadors for Israel, the IPO is participating in the whitewashing of Israel's oppression of the Palestinian people and the continued stealing of their lands and lives.
We cannot allow this orchestra to play without challenging the image of Israel it is attempting to portray.
Meet in front of Benaroya Hall at 2nd Ave between Union and University at 7:00. There will be fliers to hand out, signs, and a banner.
