Under the Olive Tree is an original project that began with a photo of an olive tree next to the Parthenon in Greece and a shared love of Mediterranean culture and music. For thousands of years, the olive tree has been and still is of crucial importance to the regions and peoples of the Mediterranean basin, and its branches are a universal symbol of peace. The olive tree is taken as the inspiration for an extraordinary encounter between musicians from different backgrounds, and as the starting point for our journey.

Under The Olive Tree celebrates the gift of life, love, joy and sadness, as well as tolerance, cultural diversity and peaceful coexistence. With original compositions and traditional pieces, a dynamic dialogue is established between the musicians. Music brings us together,and under the olive tree we hope to rediscover our roots and our ties.

The project premiered in Geneva on the and 23rd of September at the VIII edition of the Fête de L’Olivier 2023. The project premiered in the Patio de los Naranjos of the Mezquita - Catedral in Cordoba, Spain, in the frame of the International Flower Festival Flora and in commemoration of the 40th anniversary as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
