Halaqat - Exploring cultural links between Europe and the Arab world
Werkplaats Walter, the pre-eminent place for experimental and avant-garde music: come and meet twelve musicians selected for the third Halaqat music residency. They will experiment and co-create there during five days. Musicians are invited to join them at this public open jam session.
Amir ElSaffar was selected to mentor these great talents during their residency. The American composer, trumpeter, santur player, and singer of Iraqi origin is touted as an artist "perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between jazz and Arabic music" (The Wire) and as "one of the most promising figures in jazz today" (Chicago Tribune).
