CAIRO, SEPT 4 (SEE): Arab Oud House was founded by Iraqi Artist "Nasser Shamma" in 1998 which later became the first specialized center for the study of Oud.

It is currently inside one of Egyptian Islamic monument "Al-Harrawi House".

Arab Oud House was established by  the first woman's Oud orchestra consisting of ten players to support the presence of women in the Arab music world.

 

Arab Oud House offers for its students both artistic and cognitive support to enrich their scientific and literary culture by using Arab Oud House's library where they can find a variety of books and publications on different cultures.

The house also attracts all kinds of intellectuals through organizing different events such as seminars and cultural evenings.

Students also have the opportunity to hold their own concert as a part of their graduation project to be officially an Oud player.

 

The Egyptian Oud House has succeeded to graduate many skilled musicians who proved their proficiency and talent in the Arab World and made a wide range of audience who became fond of the Oud and Arabic Music.

The Center hosts musical bands who introduce different classical pieces and new pieces that have a unique blend of oriental instruments and modern techniques.
