Percussion and Choir

Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture cycles Percussion and Choir courses throughout the year. Our Youth Percussion Courses are taught by Master Percussionist Hafez Kotain.

Hafez Kotain is the percussion director at Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture and the Arab Percussion Ensemble at the University of Pennsylvania. He is an accomplished master percussionist with fluency in both Arab and Latin rhythms. He is a recipient of the prestigious 2013 Pew Fellowship in the Arts, which is awarded each year to 12 Philadelphia artists who are of exemplary talent.
