PalMusic UK

Nurturing emerging Palestinian talent
Celebrating Palestinian music, culture and heritage Igniting Palestinian Hope and Aspiration

Welcome to PalMusic UK

We are a UK-registered charity dedicated to raising funds that support the ongoing music education programmes of the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music (ESNCM), throughout Palestine.

Our aim

  • To ignite the spirit, dreams and aspirations of young Palestinians through music.  

  • We celebrate the music, culture and heritage of Palestine, by nurturing the creativity of young Palestinian musicians, providing scholarships, bursaries for them to study and perform in Palestine and the UK.

  •  We enhance the cultural life of both nations by supporting teaching and performing opportunities and collaborations between Palestinian and British musicians and teachers.  

  •  This is the tenth year of our close partnership with the ESNCM, the vibrant institution that teaches Arabic and Western Music in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Gaza, while maintaining outreach programmes throughout Palestine.
