Who are we
We are artists unified in providing the Levantine music community with a place to call home. The Levant is an Eastern Mediterranean region encompassing Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and a multiplicity of faiths, languages and music. At Dozan World, we congregate to celebrate the stories in our songs and the movement in our melodies. We nurture music creation, promote Arabic folkloric and modern Choral music, and deepen the world's knowledge and appreciation of music through performances, teaching, composition, arrangements, recording and publishing.
Shireen is a Palestinian Jordanian artist, composer and educator living in Toronto, Canada. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Oberlin College Conservatory in 1994 and a Master’s degree in Choral Music from the University of Southern California in 1998, Shireen’s musical odyssey drew her to Palestine to teach music for several years.
Expanding on her experience and passion, Shireen founded Dozan wa Awtar Music Establishment in 2002, which contributed greatly to her personal and professional development. She earned her PhD Music Education from the University of Toronto in 2019.
