Building Bridges Through Music


The National Arab Orchestra (NAO) is known worldwide for its outstanding quality concerts and innovative performance approach. We also undertake various musical projects with commercial and community partners. While we regularly work with multiple venues and festivals, we are always excited to hear from new community partners we can work with to bring the NAO’s performances to new and unreached audiences.

Building Bridges Through Music


The Building Bridges Through Music (“BBTM”) program is designed to teach students about the beauty and richness of Arab culture while providing opportunities for cultural understanding and enrichment. It is made possible by a grant from the Knight Foundation.



The BBTM Program


Let's talk about this more. We already have it mentioned, but we are doing new things and plan to expand. That would look something like this: The BBTM program is in its fourth year and plans to expand programming to instrumental music and classroom workshops.
