Mark your calendars!
Master percussionist Souhail Kaspar will be back in the Phoenix area at the end of March (which, incidentally, is also the beginning of April) for more percussion workshops and a rhythm and movement workshop for dancers. Also, Moroccan musician extraordinaire Rachid Halihal will be offering ensemble music workshops, which include voice and instrumental lessons, so bring your ouds, neys, violins, drums, and beautiful voices!
After the workshops, there will be a kickass concert and hafla featuring some of our favorite local dancers and maybe a guest appearance by our once-local violinist Bruno Bruzzese, and of course some of the best live music imaginable. Anyone who attended Rachid’s house concert last November can tell you what a blast it was!
More details to come….
