Vince Delgado’s Mid-East Tapestry Ensemble: Classical & Folk Melodies
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Vince Delgado’s Mid-East Tapestry Ensemble plays a diverse array of classical, urban, and folk music from the Arabic-speaking countries, as well as Turkish, Greek, Armenian, and Persian traditions along with original compositions. In a time when there is so much negative perception about the Middle East, the ensemble believes that the aesthetics and variety of these cultures would be of interest to American audiences. There is much beautiful music to be heard from these countries that have been developing and evolving their culture for a few thousand years. The Mid-East Tapestry Ensemble is a 501c3 California non-profit organization.
Featuring
Vince Delgado – kanun, percussion Coralie Russo – oud Rami Ziadeh – riqq, percussion Tom Shader – acoustic bass

He has had the privilege of performing with many fine musicians including Steve Allen, Henry Mancini, and Tommy Newsome. In addition to being a mainstay at many North Bay and San Francisco jazz clubs, Shader has appeared at some of the area’s popular jazz festivals such as Russian River, Cotati, Benicia, Monterey, Mammoth Lakes, Morro Bay, and the Sacramento Jubilee.
