During the course of this school year, 30 students from different classes at our school had music sessions with the artist, Ami Yares, in a program called FocUS Music that was sponsored by The U.S. Embassy. In these sessions, the students learnt about the role of American music and social change

 

El-Galil students took part and performed in two concerts that were held during this week. The first concert took place at The Arab-Jewish Cultural Center in Jaffa Tel-Aviv (Sunday 13th of May) and the second concert took place at Mahmoud Darwish Cultural Center in Nazareth (Thursday 17th of May)

 

U.S. Embassy personnel and people from Nazareth, Beersheba, Haifa, Jerusalem and Jaffa attended the concert. High school and college students of ALL backgrounds performed and spoke about their understanding of music's role in America's social change and its relationship to society in Israel
