Lecture on The Art of Arabic Maqām

CHE 109, Chemistry Building
April 9, 2019
17:00 - 18:00
Open Entry

Organized by the Events and Outreach Committee of the Department of Arabic and Translation Studies, this is the second lecture of the maqamat which will explore the more complex Ajnās of the Arabic Music, and the more multifaceted Maqām exploring the richness of expression of this phenomenon. The Maqām is presented as an open-ended system that has a deep association with expression and affects, rather than the mythic approach of the “1000 Maqām” and the “chaos of Arabic Music system.

Speaker: Dr. Amer Didi, Assistant Professor, Performing Arts Program, AUS
