Jerusalem Jazz School
The Jerusalem Jazz School founded by Arnie Lawrence - "The International Center for Creative Music, Jerusalem" is now closed.. althought the memory of Arnie Lawrence and the fantatic jazz, ethnic and experimental music he taught lives on in the hearts and souls of everyone touched by Arnie Lawrence. Here is a glimpse of the Jerusalem Jazz School for jazz fans and friends of Arnie Lawrence..The "International Center for Creative Music" began its activities on January 1, 1998. Arnie The Jerusalem Jazz School taught hundred of stunewas Here is an It ran The center conducts various programs for approximately 150 musicians, in cooperation with the Jerusalem Municipality and through funding from foundations and private sources. The Jerusalem Municipality has just provided the center with a building in Ein Kerem, which will serve as a base for its far-ranging musical activities.
The goals of the Center are:
Mold musicians into original, creative artists of the highest level of excellence.
Provide an opportunity for musicians of all levels, of all different ages and diverse ethic, religious and cultural beliefs, principles and background to study and play together, and through the experience of making truly creative music together, develop and internalize a mutual trust and respect for each other.
Create a framework for its multi-cultural and multi-ethnic participants to host world-renowned musicians, putting Israel on the international map as a major center of jazz.
An important aspect of the Center's effort to achieve its goals has been to create ties and forge links with bodies already working in Jerusalem and the rest of the country in the fields of music and coexistence. Workshops, seminars and Master Classes have already been conducted at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem, Rimon College of Jazz and Contemporary Music, Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts and Original Music Center in Jerusalem. The Center holds bi-weekly activities in Haifa at the Jewish-Arab Cultural Center Beit Hagefen and participating in their festival of "Holiday of Holidays" - a celebration of Christmas, Ramadan and Hanukah. Initial contacts have been made to establish ongoing work relations with the Palestinian Music Conservatories in East Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramalla and with the National Music Conservatory of the Queen Noor Al Hussein Foundation in Amman, Jordan.
Jerusalem Jazz Education

Arnie Lawrence - Artistic Director
