MARCEL KHALIFE AND AL MAYADINE ENSEMBLE
TOWN HALL SEATTLE, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7 AT 8 PM
Marcel Khalifé, one of the Arab world’s most influential performer and composer of music for stage and screen, brings his renowned Al Mayadine Ensemble to Town Hall Seattle on October 7 at 8 pm. They will perform "Tagasim," a new suite inspired by the words of fabled Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, along with favorites from his repertoire blending the sounds of East and West.
Khalifé’s work is firmly rooted in the classical and folk traditions of the Middle East blended with Western influences, such as the use of piano. A champion of freedom of expression and human rights, Khalifé was recognized by the United Nations as an "Artist for Peace" in 2005.
Presented by Town Hall and the Arab Center of Washington with the collaboration of Culture Theory.
Advance tickets are $26/$24 Town Hall members, seniors & students at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006. $28/26 at the door.
