Musical Performance (8-9.30pm), Nissan Theatre - book your spot (£10-7 concessions):

A musical performance with Oxford Maqam, with an instrumental part inspired by the early recording performances of prominent musicians of the late Ottoman period based in Egypt, such as Amin Buzari (Ney), Mohammad al-Aqqad (Qanun), Sami Shawwa (Violin), Mansur Awad (Oud), and others. The second part will explore a Wasla in the late 19th century Egypt genre (which includes instrumentals such as Bashraf and Semai, and singing through Muwashshahat, Adwar, and Qasidas).
