Dozan World Connecting the music and musicians of the Levant with the world. publishing | performance | education | production

We are artists unified in providing the Levantine music community with a place to call home. The Levant is an Eastern Mediterranean region encompassing Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and a multiplicity of faiths, languages and music. At Dozan World, we congregate to celebrate the stories in our songs and the movement in our melodies. We nurture music creation, promote Arabic folkloric and modern choral music, and deepen the world’s knowledge and appreciation of music through performances, teaching, composition, arrangements, recording and publishing.
