Music of the Middle East

The repertoire of the Arabic music is rich and vast. Despite the immense scale of this music, its forms, instruments and traditional rhythms have been carefully preserved thanks to a history of oral transmission.

We offer individual and group music classes for all ages and levels. Also, we sometimes hold cultural events which combine interaction with the artists and musical performances.
