🎟️ We've got a small stack of discounted tickets to Music Before 1800's concert on March 2!

Here's what MB1800 has to say about the program:

"Born in the village of Tarshiha in the Galilee, Palestinian oud virtuoso Simon Shaheen is one of the most significant Arab musicians touring today. His soaring technique has dazzled audiences for decades in traditional music as well as western and jazz compositions. Shaheen’s unique contribution to traditional Arabic music was recognised by a prestigious National Heritage Award given at The White House. For this special concert celebrating authentic Palestinian music, Shaheen is joined by long-time collaborators on traditional instruments. The program will include instrumental and vocal forms such as the “Qasida” (classical Arabic composed poetry), the “Muwashshah” (a poetic form set to music that goes back to the Andalusian time in Spain), “Sama`i” (an instrumental four-part form utilizing the authentic 10/8 meter), and “Tahmila” (an instrumental form with metric improvisation in call-and-response between solo and ensemble). Additionally, the ensemble will present a medley of Palestinian folk music and improvisation that is practiced in Syria, Palestine and Lebanon."

Groupmuse ticket buyers are instructed to pick up their tickets at Will Call immediately prior to the performance's start time. Seating is assigned.
