Aswat is a project of Zawaya,

a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Arabic Music, Art, Poetry, Literature, Theature, and Culture through instruction and presentation.

Zawaya was established in 2001 by a group of Arabs and Americans in the Bay Area to promote the public expression of Arab art and culture. By providing a forum for exhibiting all forms of Arab culture, we strive to create understanding of this rich heritage.

Zawaya works with any and all existing Arab and American organizations that support Arab culture. We have recently collaborated successfully with The Arab Cultural Center and ADC-San Francisco Chapter.

Zawaya sponsors Aswat, the only Bay Area Arab community choir, which has been promoting Arabic music for several years. This multi-ethnic and diverse choir has performed at the Academy of Sciences, at Arab Festivals in San Francisco and Seattle, and at many colleges and universities. Performances have raised funds for Arab families in time of need, but the primary focus is on love of the music itself.

Lovely SF Chronicle piece on Aswat here.
