Songs from Syria
Come join us for an evening filled with beautiful melodies from Syria.
We will take you on a musical journey around the country as you listen to songs from different regions with their own, unique traditions. The performers include Basma Edrees (violin), Mohamed Elshazly (oud), Monica Berini (percussion), and Nasser Meerkhan (vocals).
20% of sales will be donated to the survivors of the 2023 earthquake in Syria, via Save The Children.
