From the concert posting: Violin master Simon Shaheen, one of the Arab world’s most important artists, recreates the golden age of Arab song (1920s-1950s) with the works of such famed composers and singers as Mohammad Abdel Wahhab, Farid Al-Atrash, Wadi Al-Safi, Um Kulthum, Asmahan, and Fairouz. Under his direction, the Aswat Orchestra of renowned instrumentalists and special guest vocalists Ibrahim Azzam and Khalil Abonula of Palestine, Sonia M’barek of Tunisia, and Rima Khcheich of Lebanon provide an evening of classic melodies, exquisite vocals, and lush orchestral arrangements.
