Join us on Friday, November 15, at 7:30 PM in the Recital Hall for a captivating evening with artist-composer, lyricist, and educator Firas Zreik. Known for his innovative approach to the kanun—a trapezoidal plucked zither central to Middle Eastern and North African music traditions—Zreik brings fresh, evolving sounds to the stage. Born in Palestine and now a New Yorker, Zreik has been a prominent figure in the global music scene since 2013, performing and recording as both a leader and a highly sought-after collaborator. His work has transformed global perceptions of the kanun, preserving its identity within the maqam tradition while exploring its potential as a cultural chameleon.
