Tunisia project concludes

Harare, August 6, 2025— Cultures in Harmony and Atlas Music Academy have concluded their 2025 partnership in Tunisia. From July 23 to August 1, our four teachers (William Harvey, violin; Colin Davin, guitar; Hanan Aseelah Davis, voice; Melinda Faylor, piano) taught 18 young Tunisian musicians in the idyllic port town of Tabarka. We presented a final concert of this intensive learning experience on July 31 at the Nautical Club of Tabarka and on August 1 at the Golden Carthage Hotel in Tunis. We particularly thank Rafik Ben Jeddou, the president of Atlas, who was an indefatigable, generous, witty, compassionate host. The project was sponsored by the Balgley Family Charitable Foundation at the request of Noah Bendix-Balgley, concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic. Our violin students thanked him in this video.
