In these pages you will hopefully find interesting tips on how to take advantage of Cairo's many cultural opportunities, with particular attention to live events. Cairo Live Events Guide does not pretend to be exhaustive but will try to cover main events open to the public.

"GIRLS ROCK" - Workshop and Concert for Female Bands

The Goethe Institute in Egypt, the Swedish Institute Alexandria and the Arts Center of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina organize what, to my knowledge, is the first exerience of this kind in Egypt. German and Swedish female musicians will come to Alexandria and share ideas, exchange experiences, and jam with their Egyptian colleagues. The workshop will culminate in a concert at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

The event will take place on May 13-15 but the deadline for the submission of applications is March 31. Music style is not important, sharing culture and dialogue is. I think this is a truly great idea and I wish it will be a success; spread the word.

You can dowload the application form in English and Arabic and get contact information from the webpage of the Goethe Institute dedicated to the event.
