From Aleppo: A Concert of Syrian Classical Music with Muhammad Qadri Dalal, oud
TOMORROW, 7:30 PM
Klein Hall, Temple Performing Arts Center
Muhammad Qadri Dalal (b. 1946, Aleppo) is one of the last true masters of improvisation in Arab music. Raised in the rich musical ambiance of Aleppo, Syria, Dalal from a young age was schooled in the complexities of Arab music and acquired an unparalleled mastery of its modal and rhythmic systems. He studied oud and Arab music theory with the master musician Bakri al-Kurdi, and also learned the viola, contrabass, and violin. Dalal has performed to wide acclaim as a soloist, ensemble member, and leader in Syria, across the Arab world, and around the globe. He has worked with many of the leading artists in Syria, including Sabah Fakhri, Sabri Moudallal, and others.
