About this Event
To pay homage to the West End’s rich cultural heritage, Harmonies of the Aegean and the Levant celebrates the diverse and vibrant musical traditions of the Levantine region. Harmonies showcases the Levant's unique soundscape through a selection of traditional and contemporary compositions from Turkey, Greece, Iran, Kurdistan, Armenia, and the Arab world. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of classical Arabic music to the lively rhythms of folk dances, this performance will immerse the audience in the region’s profound musical heritage. The program stars Boston-based multi-instrumentalist Tev Stevig, who specializes in a variety of plucked string instruments from the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, and Afghanistan and Beth Bahia Cohen, a master of many bowed string instruments from the Middle East and the Balkans.
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
