# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Daniel Barenboim was born in Argentina on 15 November 1942 and came up as a classical pianist before turning to the podium. He led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, La Scala in Milan, and from 1992 until January 2023 served as general music director of the Berlin State Opera and Staatskapellmeister of the Staatskapelle Berlin. Along with Palestinian-American scholar Edward Said, he founded the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra, a project aimed at dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians. He is a vocal critic of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. His shelf holds seven Grammys, an honorary knighthood, France's Legion of Honour at multiple ranks, Germany's Grand Cross of Merit, and Spain's Prince of Asturias Concord Award. He speaks seven languages fluently.
