This evening of solo and duo works by multi-instrumentalists Marwan Kamel and Julius Masri is a “first meeting” of these two artists; both of whom have a hybrid approach to traditional Arabic musical forms. Philadelphia’s own Masri is known for his improvised performances, collaborations with the dance community, and celebrated new album under the name Mephisto Halabi. Masri plays drums, circuit modified Casio keyboards, Oud, Kamancheh, and various other instruments. Chicago/Tunis based Kamel is a dedicated researcher and performer known for his project Daily Maqam. His palette includes oud, nay, buzuq, guitar, violin, and hand-percussion. With these beautiful instruments, the duo will journey through improvisations and compositions that celebrate Arabic music while pushing into unique, personal interpretations that suggest the future of these forms.
