Shireen Abu-Khader and Music of the Middle East

On December 7, local nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions is bringing the internationally celebrated composer and performer Dr. Shireen Abu-Khader to Ashland to present the world premiere of a new concert film that takes us into the rich world of Middle Eastern music; as part of this live presentation, she will also engage with the audience and perform her own compositions—as well as traditional pieces that draw on classical, folkloric, and spiritual traditions from the Levant and beyond, often blending Arabic maqams with Western harmony.

This event is part of the Heart of Humanity Concert Series.
