Over five sites (Bethlehem, Gaza, Jerusalem, Ramallah and Nablus) the Conservatory organizes each year, in addition to concerts, the Arab Music Festival (Layali Al-Tarab), and every two years, a national music competition - some winners of previous editions will also be on stage Tuesday, December 18.

The institution was named Edward Said in 2004 as a tribute to the intellectual, essayist, and musicologist Palestinian-American who died in 2003.
