Performing Ensembles
Ramzi Aburedwan and Ensemble Dal’Ouna
“When you have an Eastern background and a Western music education you get a sound that is evocative of gypsy music.
Arab-Andalusian Orchestra from Anjou
Conducted by Ramzi Aburedwan, the Arab-Andalusian Orchestra is made up of artists from all over Anjou, of all ages, in an intergenerational and multicultural dynamic. They have a vast repertoire ranging from the Levant (Middle East) to Eastern Europe via Africa and Asia. It is above all the compositions of the members of the orchestra that gradually constitutes the repertoire. The themes addressed revolve around the Andalusian lyrical imagination, and are conveyed through courtly love, wine, and gardens.
Al Manara
Al Manara (meaning The Beacon) is a Belgian-Palestinian ensemble built on the collaborative juices and musical dialogue occurring between Ramzi and the Belgian pianist, conductor and composer Éloi Baudimont.
Jerusalem Sufi Ensemble
“If you want to be free, be a captive of love” - Nur ad-Din Abd Ar-Rahman Jami, Persian poet, mystic and historian of the 15th century.
The Palestine National Ensemble of Arabic Music
The Palestine National Ensemble for Arabic Music (PNEAM) is reviving and breathing new life into the classical Arab musical heritage in Palestine.

La pièce de théâtre Taha
Taha est une pièce pour un acteur, écrite et jouée pour la première fois par Amer Hlehel au théâtre Al-Midane d’Haïfa le 7 mai 2014. Elle s’inspire de la vie du poète palestinien Taha Muhammad Ali, symbole d’une Palestine perdue et reconquise par les mots. Taha est un poète. Il est seul sur scène. Fort de son expérience, il raconte son parcours, à la fois si singulier et si universel : celui d’un homme qui a dû quitter son pays, qui a éprouvé la perte, et qui pourtant tient debout.
"Children of the Stone" by Sandy Tolan
Children of the Stone, the power of music in a hard land
It is an unlikely story. Ramzi Hussein Aburedwan, a child from a Palestinian refugee camp, confronts an occupying army, gets an education, masters an instrument, dreams of something much bigger than himself, and then, through his charisma and persistence, inspires scores of others to work with him to make that dream real. The dream: a school to transform the lives of thousands of children—as Ramzi’s life was transformed—through music.
