Musique Royale is delighted to partner with Montreal’s Garage Concerts for our 39th Summer Festival to present Ensemble Urmawi, a quartet of musicians featuring Lamia Yared (vocals, oud), Nizar Tabcharani (qanun), Showan Tavakol (kamanche), and Ziya Tabassian (percussion). On tour, the performers will interpret songs from Syrian traditions (Muwashahat) as well as sacred chants from the early Christians of the Orient in Aramaic, and finally some pieces of traditional Persian music. This tour provides a rare opportunity for Nova Scotian audiences to hear these three traditions of music, which intersect both geographically and historically. Concerts will take place at historic venues in Johnstown, Antigonish, on Bell Island, Port Williams and Halifax.
