Middle Eastern music gatherings, UK

Jack_Campin - 2-25-2017 at 02:35 PM

For a lot of traditional music genres there are regular gatherings in the UK, some of which I go to. For klezmer, KlezNorth in Derbyshire and KlezFest in London; for French bal folk, the Festival des Panards in Yorkshire; for fiddle-based Scandinavian music, the Scandimoot in Lancashire; for Scottish and English music, quite a few. And lots of similar things for classical music.

Is there anything comparable for Middle Eastern music - preferably multi-instrumental and with complementary stuff on song and dance?

Hello,

it's not in the UK but maybeit may also beof interest for you

There are the lessons and concerts on one side, but you can also visit the project as a listener and also as a guest.

We have an airport nearby ( Basel/Mulhouse - BSL ) and a bus transfer close to us. So may be the travel to Sulzburg will not be much more than somewhere in the UK

Best regards

That looks great - can't make those dates this year, but looks like something to aim for in 2018.

It will happen every year at the end of August / beginning of September.
I'll put you on my mailing list if it's o.k.
