Join us for an evening of music, culture, and history with Arab American composer, vocalist, and oud player Laith Alattar. We’ll learn about the instrument itself and its role in Arabic culture and society historically as well as in modern times, especially how it is used today as a means for preserving and showcasing Arab and Middle Eastern heritage and culture. We’ll also discuss Arabic music and the similarities and differences to Western music, all while Laith performs various musical examples. Join us for this exciting musical voyage!
