Barenboim has stated that he intends to continue working as much as his health allows. His top priority remains securing the future of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, which he co-founded in 1999 to bring together young musicians from Israel and Arab nations. Describing the mission of the orchestra, which has been a BBC Proms regular since 2003, Barenboim has observed, ‘It has very flatteringly been described as a project for peace. It isn’t. It’s not going to bring peace, whether you play well or not so well.
