Doha, Qatar - Lusail Museum Conversations is hosting a series of events exploring the musical heritage of Cairo. The latest offering, "Echoes of Cairo: Reviving Egyptian Music from 1900," features a panel discussion and concert with the Oxford Maqam ensemble. Presented as part of Qatar Creates Talks, the event takes place at Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q).
The panel discussion, scheduled for Monday, September 28 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, will explore the repertoire, recordings, and history behind the music. Members of Oxford Maqam will discuss the challenges of reviving works first captured on ageing shellac records.
The concert, held on Tuesday, September 29 from 6pm to 7:30pm, will bring this repertoire to life with a full live performance. Five members of Oxford Maqam will perform, including Martin Stokes, Bashir Saade, Sophie Frankford, Tarik Beshir, and Walid Zaido.
Known for their innovative approach to classical Arabic music, Oxford Maqam recreates historical works through extensive research and period recording techniques.
