Near Eastern Ensemble

Since early times from silk roads and spice bazaars to Andalusian mountains and Saharan stars, musical ideas, forms, and instruments were exchanged and have been evolving ever since. Discover the folk and classical repertoire of music from the Middle East, North Africa, and near eastern neighbors. Experiment with the Maqam (Middle Eastern scale system) and the dramatic rhythmic and melodic arrangements.
