The launching of the Palestinian National Orchestra at the New Year  in Ramallah followed with two concerts in Jerusalem and Haifa. Two music festivals were organized: the Arabic Music Festival “Layali Al Tarab” and the Jasmine Festival in Spring. This Summer was full of activities where three summer camps were organized to enrich the musical skills of the students. For the first time, a summer course with four different modules was organized. The project “Melodies of Hope" was launched in Lebanon, to give a chance for the Palestinian children of the camps in Lebanon to learn music. Throughout the year, students’ ensembles participated in various external performances in Jordan, France, Sweden, Norway, Serbia, and Kuwait, including the significant tour of Palestinian Strings in the USA. Finally, the year ended with the stunning two performances of the Palestine Youth Orchestra in Ramallah and Nablus.
