We are looking forward to an eventful summer at CAC, which includes: Summer Camp, CAC Sunday School Registration and Arabic Colloquial classes!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, and/or ideas, please email us at info@cacboston.org.

From June 25th-July 6th CAC will be running a week long cultural and self-expression summer camp for 12-14 year olds.
Campers will have the opportunity to explore Arabic culture through Arabic language instruction each morning, followed by cultural exploration through the arts in the afternoon.
Activities will include art, drama, improvisation and creative writing. Our goal is to cultivate a deep appreciation for the Arabic language and culture, and to empower campers through self-expression.

16th Annual Arabic Music Retreat
August 11-18, 2012 at Mt. Holyoke College
| | |
Arab musician and composer  Simon Shaheen invites students, performers, and scholars of Arabic music to the Sixteenth Annual Arabic Music Retreat at Mount Holyoke College. The retreat is honored to present an accomplished faculty roster including Associate Director Dr. A.J. Racy. This year we welcome back Charbel Rouhana from Lebanon. We are also offering a special cultural program for children aged 7-10 who accompany a participating parent. The Retreat includes seven days of Arabic music instruction in both chamber music and large orchestra performance. The Retreat also offers private lessons and classes in Arabic music theory, analysis, and ear training. The structured format, along with the relaxed academic atmosphere of Mount Holyoke's beautiful rural campus, makes the Retreat an ideal setting for the
serious study of Arabic music.h
