Project summary
With a focus on education, the project trained young people in traditional Syrian music in Lebanon and Jordan. It has resulted in a core group of dedicated and experienced music teachers, who have all received training in traditional Syrian music.
Diverse audiences have attended the music school’s many concerts which has contributed to a new and growing interest in traditional Syrian music among cultural communities in the two countries.
