Many viewers have left the Baluarte auditorium in Pamplona before the Euskadi Symphony Orchestra interprets the work of Paul Ben-Haim. Before interpreting a work by the author of the version for the Israeli national anthem. BDZ Navarra, the boycott of Israel, the divestment and the movement calling for sanctions has called on people to leave the room by distributing leaflets, and has displayed Palestinian flags among the public and on the stage.

 

The Baluarte Auditorium in Pamplona hosted the concert of the Basque Symphony Orchestra in which dozens of spectators left the room before interpreting the Berceuse sfaradite work of the Israeli composer.

The program, led by Israeli-American violinist Pinchas Zukerman, was recently modified to include this Ben-Haim theme. This change, according to the BDZ, has been "unacceptable". In the current context, they have criticized the incorporation of this piece of music into the programme and distributed leaflets in the auditorium.

After the pause, the concert continued under the direction of Israeli violinist Pinchas Zukerman and was attended by the director. The Euskadi Symphony Orchestra, the organizer of the event, has not yet pronounced on what happened in the Gipuzkoan capital.
