The
Bethlehem Academy of Music stands as the result of the desire and fidelity of a
group of music teachers and lovers in Bethlehem region, as they took the
initiative to form a nongovernmental and not-for-profit organization to cater
to serve the people regarding music and cultural affairs on two levels: oriental
and western music, for both: the youth and adults alike. The Academy wanted to
lay foundations for music culture for the next generations, and at the same time
to restore Bethlehem as a modern symbol of Palestine, and present it to the
world with an international music culture as well.
