The Arts Centre Jazz Club: Noor Ensemble

The ensemble adeptly incorporates Middle Eastern and South Asian rhythmic patterns and melodies into their musical repertoire, creating a sophisticated fusion of jazz with various global influences. The ensemble’s performances transport audiences to a cross-cultural intersection, where the convergence of genres becomes a harmonious celebration of musical diversity and artistic expression.
