Looking for Rochester NY oud player

Hi,

I’m looking for an oud player to play Sama’i For An Unknown Reason by Issa Boulos at a charity event. It would be Saturday, 10/12/24 at 7pm. I am a student at Eastman in Rochester NY.

Thank you!

Just for information, the piece is named "Sama'i For an Unspecified Reason." It's original score is for string quartet, clarinet & riqq. Recording is here: https://www.issaboulos.com/audio/o/samai-for-an-unspecified-reason.M... The post doesn't state whether they would provide a music sheet, or if the performer would need to learn it by ear, by 10/12/24. If there are any qualified oud players in the Rochester area, John Vergara, who is an oud luthier in Beacon, NY, would probably know: https://johnvergara.com/home/
