Learn Oud for 5-7 days in early August in Cyprus???
Hi Everyone,
Currently I am staying in Jerusalem for the summer and I ran into this Turkish-style oud player on the street who told me that he is going to Cyprus
in the beginning of August where he will be intensively learning oud from various teachers from around the world. I became immediately interested, yet
I didn't receive sufficient info from about it and to moreover, I can't find it on a simple Google search. Bottom line: I would like to go. I have
studying oud for 8 months and I would like to be apart of something like this. Does anyone know what this Jerusalem local was talking about? The
website? Organization? Anything. Please let me know if anyone is familiar.
Much love,
Artoor

Hi Artoor,
You are in Jerusalem? Maybe you can arranage a lesson with Dr. Taiseer Elias? He teaches oud at the Jerusalem Academy and Bar Ilan Univ. You can
find his email address here: http://www.biu.ac.il/HU/mu/faculty.htm His students have won awards in Arab World-wide competitions (sec Wikipedia, Darwish Darwish in Egypt in
2003).
Also, do you know about the "The Center for Middle Eastern Classical Music" in Jerusalem http://www.musicenter.org.il/english.asp As you might expect, their program in more geared toward music from the Arabic-speaking world, but they
also have programs on Turkish music.
Maran is probably correct about Crete.
Good luck,
John
