About this Event
In the midst of a global pandemic we are pleased to offer a socially-distanced program of traditional and neo-classical Arabic music from our homes to yours. Join us for great Lebanese folklore, Egyptian Classics and more!
ASTAZA welcomes students and community members to join our ensemble for a unique musical and cross-cultural experience, Funded by the Interdisciplinary Program for Islamic Civilizations and Societies and the Department of Music. Directed by Prof. Nizar Fares and with Prof. Ann Lucas as Academic director, our repertoires cover over 30 countries of music traditions. Performing different vocal and instrumental forms, from popular, to folk, to classical and neo-classical styles, Astaza is delighted to share these unique music traditions and the diverse legacy of music at Boston College with all of the Greater Boston Area.
