With support from the California Arts Council, ZAMBALETA will expand its community music education programs in the San Francisco Bay Area and online. With the onset of the COVID pandemic in April 2020, Zambaleta launched Labyrinth Online – an online music education platform focusing on the modal traditions of the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Central and South Asia. Till now, the platform has presented synchronous (live) music courses. In the coming two years, Zambaleta will roll out asynchronous (pre-recorded) courses to widen the program’s reach and lower the courses’ price point to make them more accessible to students of all backgrounds while supporting its instructors with with a passive income revenue stream. In parallel, Zambaleta will re-introduce its in-person community music classes in both Alameda and San Francisco counties.
Zambaleta offers music classes, presents performances, and produces events focusing on the Middle East and Africa.
