<\/a>Wanting to introduce Israeli music to German clubs, she realized that by pairing an Israeli group with a local band, \u201cpeople would come to hear the local band and get something extra.\u201d Bringing bands together musically was a fairly easy task for Frenzel, but her vision extends beyond creating a cool jam. \u201cPros can do this,\u201d she explains, \u201cplay together in 24 hours. But the time of being together is so short. It doesn\u2019t leave much.\u201d Wanting the encounter to become meaningful on a personal level she wanted to bring the musicians \u201ctogether for a week to give them a chance to get to know one another\u201d \u2013 and that is the essence of ILanD.<\/p>\n The first part of the project brought Israeli musicians to Germany in 2008, where they were paired with German bands that would be compatible musically. However, she said, \u201cYou can\u2019t plan what happens between two people who meet for the first time. The combination is right musically, but personally \u2013 maybe not.\u201d However, the \u201cluck of the project\u201d as Frenzel describes it, is that the musicians connected powerfully on a musical and personal level, something she still feels is \u201cthrilling, a bit not believing\u201d the impact of the project on the people involved.<\/p>\n The success of ILanD 2008 has led to the coming week\u2019s events which will commence with a screening of a documentary movie created by students of two Berlin schools on the workshops and concerts held in Germany last year. 19 of these students are now visiting Israel for the first time, to document their journey. They have created a website \u2013 www.youngILanD2009.de<\/a>, where people worldwide can follow ILanD 2009. There will be a special workshop project for the young participants, who will be hosted by Israeli families so that they can experience everyday life in Israel. Their partners in this adventure will be students from Tichon Ironi Alef Art School.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a><\/a>
