Hey,

I just found out that Souhail Kaspar (Arabic tablah) and Rahim Ahlaj (oud) will be performing at various libraries in the Metro area from Sunday till Friday (Souhail is also teaching drum at some public schools too).

Here is the schedual (all of the library shows are free, of course):

I talk to him today and he said that he would be interested in teaching drumming classes and rhythm and movement classes if anyone is interested. Since his hotel and transportation are already paid for, the classes would be anywhere from $20-$35 an hour depending on the level.

We would need a place to host these too. I will be talking to a few people today to see what is available, but if anyone here is interested, please contact me through this forum or feel free to contact Souhail from that link.
