This Week in Palestine - December 99
The Jerusalem Festival - For Religious Music
"Amen"

Yabous Productions

December 15th, 1999 - January 5th, 2000
Organized & produced by Yabous Productions
in Cooperation with the Bethlehem 2000 Project
 
In December 1997 the First Sufi Music Festival organized by Yabous Productions was held in Jerusalem. This year the Religious Music Festival - Amen is sure to be the highlight of our coming 2000! Since Yabous Productions has created a special program on the occasion of the Holy month - Ramadan & Christmas 2000 with concerts, workshops and praise.

 

  • We have to admit that this festival must be the most important and largest event of its type in the world. Why? Because it is held in Palestine, the place which is celebrating the Bethlehem 2000 and Ramadan in the same month. And also because of the spiritual impact it has on the lives of millions of people.
  • Join us for excitement packed days of non-stop inspired music where choral groups and musicians will perform at a variety of venues in mosques and churches, and in two great locations, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, besides Nablus, Ramallah, Jericho and Hebron. Groups from Morocco, France, Turkey, Sweden, Greece, Russia, Tunisia and the United States will participate in this Festival.
