A New Horizon for Arabic Music
A New Horizon for Arabic Music
The NYAO is a New York-based 501.C.3 nonprofit organization. All gifts are tax deductible as allowed by the law. Your donation supports hundreds of musicians, artists, composers, and students who are performing, preserving and playing Arabic music in the community, in concert halls and in classrooms throughout the greater New York metropolitan area.
No gift is too small. Please see our Mission Statement HERE
This is an opportunity to increase the repertoire of Arabic music that’s out in the world, and to provide a platform for composers both emerging and established.
The mission of the New York Arabic Orchestra, Inc. is to preserve and promote Arabic culture through music, to foster understanding among world cultures, and to create a new perspective of music performance and composition in the United States. This is achieved through performances, education and training programs in classical and contemporary Arabic music.
Our vision is for a rich and diverse performance and public discussion of this musical heritage, together with comprehensive educational programs for local public schools and colleges, the local community including youth classes and ensembles, audio recordings, a physical home-base, enrichment programs for the wider artistic community and providing educators access to the tools to carry on the teachings of an art where presently few teachers exist whether in person or remotely throughout the New York and greater Tri-State areas as well as at the national and international levels. We envision a professional organization that is dynamic, accessible, interactive and evolving with an ever diverse social and artistic world.
