of the University of Chicago's Department of Music, CMES,
and several other guest professional musicians, workshop
participants will explore both lecture and practical material
to enrich the classroom experience, including :

·  Maqamat (Modal Structures)
·  Iqa'at (Rhythmic and Modal Structures)
·  Form and Genre (Levantine, Iranian, North African and Balkan
contexts
·  Middle Eastern Music Teaching Resources (online and elsewhere)
·  Music in the Middle East (media, social, and religious life)
·  Practical repertoire workshops
 
We have also prepared many cultural events to further
acclimatize and acculturate our institute members. 
Included is dinner at a local Middle Eastern restaurant,
and an evening of Middle Eastern cinema (with subtitles).
The Institute will conclude with a public concert involving
Institute participants and visiting musicians.
