Hi!
Just thought I'd let you know about this Seminar! I wish I could go..but I won't be able to do that  So, here it is for whoever is interested to do so:
Note:
1- The 2005 Heartland Seminar on Arabic Music is scheduled for March 19th-23rd *"Done"
2- The 2005 Heartland Youth Seminar on Arabic Music is scheduled from August 01st-04th.
"The Heartland Seminar on Arabic Music is a five-day residential program focusing on classical Arabic music.
The Seminar is designed both for people who wish to begin their study as well as those who seek to improve their skills.
The Seminar will feature internationallly-recognized academics and performers who will offer individualized instruction, lectures, and workshops.
Special sessions will be devoted to topics such as music marketing and promotion, composition, technical issues, and education.
The instructors involved are: Hicham Chami of Chicago on qanun, Hanna Khoury of Philadelphia on violin, Scott Marcus of Santa Barbara on nay, Naser
Musa of Los Angeles on vocals, Karim Nagi Mohammed of Boston on percussion, and Kareem Roustom of Boston on 'ud. All instructors have extensive
background in education and workshop-conducting in addition to being recording artists and performers.
The Heartland Seminar is sponsored by Xauen Music, a Chicago-based organization dedicated to preserving the heritage of classical Arabic, Sephardic,
Turkish, and Armenian music. Xauen promotes concerts, publishes a magazine, conducts educational workshops, and produces recordings. The location is
DeKoven Center in Racine, Wisconsin; an Episcopal conference center on Lake Michigan. DeKoven is convenient to Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee, yet
offers a secluded setting conducive to the Seminar. The Heartland Seminar is the first event of its kind to be held in the Midwest. "
