Directed by master composer and violinist Fathi al-Jarrah, the Bayat Music Ensemble performs a concert of music from Aleppo, once the heart of classical Arabic music. Some of the musical compositions and structures in this program date back over 1,000 years, while other songs date from the 19th and 20th centuries. The ensemble features singers Fadi Hanani, Fatima Lahlou, and Safwan Daya, and other masters of Arabic music from the San Francisco Bay Area.
The concert will also include a free Arabic dance lesson from 7:30pm - 8:30pm, and a special performance by the world-renowned Suhaila Dance Company.
“These songs are in danger of disappearing, especially after the recent destruction in Aleppo,” says director Fathi al-Jarrah. “It is important that we preserve this music and keep it alive.” Al-Jarrah was born and raised in the Syrian city, which in the past five years has been at the center of a devastating civil war.
A portion of the proceeds will go to the Syrian Children’s Relief Fund, a part of the Children’s Relief Fund.
