To everyone asking about our plans: we will not be holding the Beirut International Jazz Week this year, and celebrate the .

Jazz was born from struggle. It is more than entertainment; it is a language of resistance and a call for human solidarity. Today, the music must serve that original purpose. We cannot celebrate while our country bleeds—with thousands killed and over a million displaced.

We are calling on our global jazz community to honor the true spirit of this music. Raise your voices. Use your art. Demand an end to this death machine.

How you can take action today:
- Host. Listen. buy. Support Lebanese Musicians.
- Purchase the Land 02 (أرض ٠٢) and Land 03 (أرض ٠٣) compilations by & on Bandcamp to help raise funds for those displaced by Israeli attacks on Lebanon. 100% of sales will be given to .aam.
- Donate to the or other verified NGOs.

Thank you for standing with Lebanon.

As part of EL DHAT Series 2026, a workshop dedicated to improvisation with Donna Khalife and Diego Rodríguez will take place on March 3.

Rooted in practice, listening, and interaction, this workshop approaches improvisation as a living process — unfolding in real time between sound, presence, and collective awareness.

Rather than focusing on a fixed style or theory-based instruction, the session explores real-time musical decision-making, deep listening, and the development of each participant’s personal artistic voice within jazz and contemporary music contexts.

The workshop is open to musicians and music students with prior musical knowledge and experience (not necessarily in improvisation.)

An invitation to expand how we think, hear, and respond — with openness, flexibility, and deeper musical connection.

Free entrance. Seats are limited. Reservation is required via DM.

🗓 March 3, 2026 at 7:00 PM
📍 Multaqa — Beirut

ضمن سلسلة الذات 2026، تُقام في 3 آذار ورشة عمل مخصّصة للارتجال مع دونا خليفة ودييغو رودريغيز.

تنطلق الورشة من الممارسة، الإصغاء، والتفاعل، وتتعامل مع الارتجال كعملية حيّة تتشكّل في الزمن الحقيقي، بين الصوت، الحضور، والوعي الجماعي.

بدلاً من التركيز على أسلوب محدّد أو تعليم نظري تقليدي، تستكشف الجلسة آليات اتخاذ القرار اللحظي، والإصغاء العميق، وتطوير الصوت الفني الشخصي لكل مشارك ضمن سياقات الجاز والموسيقى المعاصرة.

الورشة مفتوحة للموسيقيين وطلاب الموسيقى الذين لديهم معرفة وخبرة موسيقية سابقة.

دعوة لتوسيع طريقة التفكير والسمع والاستجابة — بانفتاح، ومرونة، وارتباط موسيقي أعمق.

الدخول مجاني. المقاعد محدودة. الحجز عبر الرسائل الخاصة (DM).

في المشهد الموسيقي المعاصر، غالباً ما نضع حدوداً فاصلة بين الأنماط؛ فنصنفها كشرقي، جاز، إلكتروني، فلكلور، أو تجريبي.. حدودٌ توحي باختلافات تبدو في الواقع أعمق مما هي عليه.
تاريخياً، تلتقي هذه الأنماط جميعاً في جوهر واحد: "النداء والاستجابة" والعفوية المطلقة في اتخاذ القرار اللحظي. إنها موسيقى تولد من رحم اللحظة، تستجيب لـ "الآن"، ولا يمكن أن تُعزف مرتين بالأسلوب ذاته.

تأتي سلسلة حفلات "الذات" (EL DHAT) الموسيقية لتسليط الضوء على هذه المساحة المشتركة. ومن خلال جمع تجارب الارتجال جنباً إلى جنب، تعيد السلسلة صياغة هذه الأنماط، لا كجزر منعزلة، بل كتعبيرات متوازية عن دافع إنساني واحد: خلقُ أثرٍ صادق وعصيٍّ على التكرار.

🗓 26 فبراير – 6 مارس
📍 5 مساحات في مختلف أنحاء لبنان

من خلال اربع عروض أدائية وورشة عمل واحدة للارتجال الحر، تدعوكم سلسلة حفلات "الذات" (EL DHAT) لتجربة موسيقى لا تُكرر، ولا تُرمّم، ولا تُقيّد. انضموا إلينا للاحتفاء بالحضور، والمخاطرة، والحوار، والتنوّع الموسيقي النابض الذي يميّز لبنان.

In today’s music landscape, music is often categorized and separated into Oriental, jazz, electronic, folk, and experimental... These boundaries suggest differences that run deeper than they truly do.
But historically, they all share a spontaneous call-and-response and a reliance on live decision-making. They are a type of music born in the moment—responsive to the "now" and impossible to play the same way twice.

EL DHAT concert series aims to highlight this underexplored common ground. By placing improvisational practices side by side, the series reframes different genres not as separate worlds, but as parallel expressions of a shared human impulse: to create something truthful and unrepeatable.

🗓 February 26 – March 6
📍 5 Venues across Lebanon

Featuring 4 performances and one free improvisation workshop, EL DHAT invites you to experience music that cannot be repeated, reconstructed, or fixed. Join us for a celebration of presence, risk, dialogue, and the vibrant musical hybridity that defines Lebanon.

The Beirut Jazz Society is excited to offer something special this August: one-on-one jazz improvisation classes with Arthur Satyan.

This is a chance for any instrumentalist to really dig into jazz improvisation, learning the tunes and understanding the scale/chord relationships. We just ask that you're very comfortable with your instrument, can read music, and know some basic music theory. That way, we can jump right into the good stuff!
Why Learn One-on-One with Arthur?

Learning individually with Arthur means you get a super personalized experience. He'll focus on exactly what you need to work on, whether it's understanding tricky chords or finding your own musical voice. You'll get direct feedback, answers to all your questions, and a chance to really grow your skills in a way that just isn't possible in a group setting. It's about building confidence and truly expressing yourself through your music.

About Your Tutor: Arthur Satyan
Arthur Satyan is a big name in jazz, especially around here. He grew up in a family of composers and spent over 20 years studying at top conservatories. Since coming to Lebanon in '96, he's been a key part of our jazz scene as a pianist, composer, and teacher. He even established the Jazz Department at the Lebanese National Conservatory. Arthur has played with some serious jazz legends, and his understanding of jazz is truly something else. Learning from him is a unique opportunity.

Class Details:
- What: 8 private jazz improvisation sessions
- When: Throughout August 2025 (we'll figure out a schedule that works for you and Arthur)
- Where: Multaqa, Beirut (it's a great spot for learning!)
- Cost: 300 USD

This is all part of the Beirut Jazz Society's effort to help local musicians learn more and get better at what they love. If you're ready to take your jazz improvisation to the next level, this is it.
