Description

After a wildly successful debut at the Lincoln Crossroads Music Festival in 2019, Kinan Azmeh returns to Lincoln for an intimate look at the Syrian composer’s more intimate chamber works. Azmeh’s works are connected to meaningful places and stories that transport the listener somewhere very far away, yet that still feels like home. Azmeh will be joined on stage by local musicians and storytellers, for improvisations based on Syrian folk songs. Program. Azmeh: The fence the rooftop and the distant sea (for clarinet and cello) Azmeh: In the element (for clarinet and string quartet + bass) Azmeh: Cafe Damas, for violin, cello and double bass
