Ramzi Aburedwan and Dal’Ouna Ensemble
Ramzi is the founder, composer and musical director of several ensembles that have toured Palestine and internationally to critical acclaim. His Dal’Ouna ensemble, whose name stands for the communal values of synchronicity, collaborative work and mutual support, is named after a style of song performed in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. The ensemble features instrumentals and poetic genres based in folklore spanning from Egypt to North Africa via the Middle East, as well as original compositions, enhanced by jazzy, layered improvisations, hints of other world traditions, and a profound sense of bluesy lyricism.

The Center for Arabic Culture (CAC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating the Arabic culture and the Arab American experience through education and the arts in a secular and nonpolitical mission of building bridges and connecting cultures. CAC promotes the culture through Arabic language and programs and a variety of cultural programs and events to bring people together in an inclusive and humanistic way.
CAC hosts two vibrant choirs—children’s and adult—that celebrate Arabic and Middle Eastern musical heritage. Since 2014, the Children’s choir (ages 5–15) has introduced young singers to Arabic language and culture through traditional and modern songs. Jazal, the Adult choir welcomes singers of all backgrounds, immersing members in Arabic vocal styles and quarter tones without requiring prior language knowledge. Both choirs promote cultural exchange, foster musical growth through harmony and a cappella singing, and perform widely to share the richness of Arabic music with diverse communities across Massachusetts and beyond.
