As part of the Community Recitals concert series, Youssef Al Ashkar will be performing an Oud Recital at the Discovery Square Theatre on Monday, February 19, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Youssef Al Ashkar, a chemical engineering graduate student in KAUST and a talented Arabic oud player, is presenting us a delightful performance of ancient classical Arabic music, featuring Peshrev, Samaii, and Muwashah. Do not miss this chance to travel through time listening to Youssef playing and singing classical Arabic music forms, maqams (scales), and rhythms.
Brought to you by the Community Life Music Program, the community recitals are designed to support community member performers in a formal theatre setting. Would you like to perform a piece you have been preparing, your comedy show, share your poetry, play a duet, or sing? This is your chance!
