HUZAM with Karim Nagi & Ensemble Livestream

Available Sunday, May 29, 2022 - Tuesday, May 31, 2022

About HUZAM:

HUZAM features new compositions in traditional Arab music styles. Egyptian percussionist & composer Karim Nagi leads this skilled ensemble of master Chicago musicians hailing from Egypt, Syria and Palestine. Using authentic acoustic instruments, the group will feature material from the new album “Huzam” along with some classic Arab repertoire. In this concert, listeners can experience Arab tradition's connection to the intimate ensemble aesthetic of Chamber Music, the microtonal & hetero-phonic timelessness of Early Music, and the extemporaneous adventurism of Jazz.
