Counterpoint International Conference - May 7, 2005
In
Counterpoint International's
( )
second conference
on Transforming Conflict and Deepening Interfaith Dialogue through Arts, Music,
and Ritual, the LCM organized a panel focusing on Lebanon and the lessons
learnt from the interreligious conflicts riddling its recent history. One of
Counterpoints aims was to examine how music can be used within an academic
setting to encourage a deeper, franker level of discourse.
The conference took place on May 7, 2005, at the Cronkhite Center in Harvard
University. The Lebanese panel consisted of:
3:30-5pm Case Lebanon
Firas Abi-Nassif:
The Roots of Conflict
Loai Naamani (chair and moderator):
Lessons Learned and Moving Forward
Michel ElAshkar:
A Message of Unity through Theatre and Hymns
