The Alex Wilson band
In collaboration with the Lebanese National Conservatoire, we hosted the Jazz musical concert by the UK based Alex Wilson Band Quartet.
At the end of the one night concert the students expressed what they had learnt and gained as experience and benefit from the workshops in a lively 'Jam session' that protrayed the amicability and success of the experience between both the Lebanese participants and the UK experts.

We supported the Melodians Steel band visit to the Al Bustan festival programme for the year 2001 in Lebanon.
The seven musicians from North London, in the best Trinidad steel drum tradition, have played on their oil drums all over the world, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Highgrove House, Prince Charles' country house.
