Concerts

A Chamber Music Concert, sponsored by the European Union and Bethlehem University, took place in Sansour Hall on September 25th. German, American and Palestinian musicians of the 'East-West-Chamber Ensemble' played classical music written for two violins, cello, clarinet and piano. On October 9th, a large crowd attended a jazz concert sponsored by the Swedish Institute in the Music Room of the Social and Cultural Center. The group called “The Beautiful Mind” entertained the audience.

Theatre

In cooperation with the Office of the Dean of Students and the Student Senate, the Palestinian theater group Inad presented “Until When...” on October 15th. The play about the hardships and deprivation of human rights in Palestine was well received before an audience of about 140 in the Bethlehem University Auditorium.

Cinema and Film

The Department of English inaugurated a project called the “English Cinema.” The purpose of the project is twofold: to fill the artistic gap in the life of the students since there are no theaters or movie houses in Bethlehem and to improve the English listening skills of the students. Five films in English were presented during the Fall Semester. Hanna Musleh from the Department of Humanities debuted his documentary, “ I'm a Little Angel,” on October 4th before an overflow audience of 150 in Cardinal Furno Hall. The 40- minute documentary, filmed in the Bethlehem area, tells the heart-rending story of three innocent children who became physical and psychological victims of the indiscriminate violence of the Israeli occupational forces.
