Featuring Ibrahim Azzam, Sonia M'barek,
Khalil Abonula, Rima Khcheich,
and The Aswat Orchestra
The period from the 1920s to the 1950s was a golden age of song throughout the Arab world, when many of the region's greatest vocalists and composers reached unprecedented heights of artistry and stardom. Now Simon Shaheen, one of today's leading Arab composers and multi-instrumentalists, recreates this magical era with a multimedia experience of historical depth and lasting emotional impact, working with a traditional orchestra and some of the leading singers in the Arab world today, including Ibrahim Azzam of Palestine, Sonia M'barek of Tunisia, Khalil Abonula of Palestine, and Rima Khcheich of Lebanon.
Presented in association with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the University Musical Society at the University of Michigan, and the Arab Cultural & Community Center.
