Musical Ensemble Performance: Enchanted Oud  

November 6, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 

Join PAMA and Maple Arts on a wistful and magical evening featuring members of the Canadian Arabic Orchestra and a selection of some of the most memorable songs played on the Oud. The Oud is considered one of the oldest instruments still in use today. Depictions of the Oud have been found in drawings in Ancient Mesopotamia and Pharaohs have been found buried with their favourite Ouds. European music had an awakening of its own after the Oud made its way there as the Lute. Modern Arabic music has been shaped by unforgettable Oud players and their performances. 

Part of the Festival of Arabic Music and Arts presented by Maple Arts. 

Registration required. $24 General; $20.40 Member.

About the Orchestra: The Canadian Arabic Orchestra is a Mississauga-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to connecting people through music, celebrating the diversity of Canada’s cultural mosaic with classical Arabic music from all corners of the Arab world and presented at times with a fusion of classical western and other music.
