SFIAF presents Music In-Takht, “ Beyond Lyrics: Egypt's Legacy of Instrumental Music”

Presented by San Francisco International Arts Festival

Music In-Takht

Embark on a captivating musical journey as the all-Egyptian ensemble "Music in-Takht," led by Egyptian-American violinist Basma Edrees, takes center stage. Deviating from the vocal-dominated landscape of typical Egyptian concerts, this event offers a unique exploration of instrumental finesse, resurrecting Egypt's instrumental musical tradition and highlighting contemporary instrumental works. Against the backdrop of current global affairs, the concert pays tribute to the struggle of the Palestinian people (with whom Egyptians share a musical tradition), presenting two pieces by Palestinian composers. Join us for an evening where music becomes a powerful narrative beyond words.
