Magnificat Institute Jerusalem

Between March and July 2026, the Conservatorio di Musica "Arrigo Pedrollo" in Vicenza welcomed Diam Habiballah, a cello student from the Magnificat Institute of Jerusalem, as a visiting student within the mobility activities promoted by the JERUS-IT-ARTS project.
Her mobility in Vicenza offered her the opportunity to experience musical education in a broader and more structured academic setting.

For Diam, the cello is more than her main field of study: it is a way to explore different musical languages. Through the instrument, she moves between Western classical repertoire and Arab and Middle Eastern traditions, discovering how different approaches to sound, intonation, and expression can enrich her musical identity.

The programme was not only a period of study abroad, but also a space of encounter, listening, and personal transformation. In Vicenza, she found a community eager to share its music, its culture, and its sense of belonging, while she, in turn, brought with her the sounds, memories, and musical heritage of Jerusalem.
Diam's journey embodies the spirit of JERUS-IT-ARTS: using music as a medium to connect people, places, and traditions, and to create something new between Jerusalem and Vicenza.
