Ido Arad

Ido Arad is a musician and conductor who has gained prominence in Germany, conducting at prestigious venues such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Staatsoper Berlin. Following the escalation of conflict involving Israel and Palestine in October 2023, Arad expressed a growing disconnection from both Germany and Israel, prompting him to co-create the dialogue initiative 'Zeit zu reden' with Kristin Helberg and Haig Ghokassian to foster discussions on controversial topics like apartheid and the legitimacy of state policies.
