Oud concert in East Tennessee

Wm. De Leonardis - 9-28-2004 at 08:55 AM

Hey, all,

For those of you within the Southeast, there's a upcoming concert by Iraqi oudist Rahim Al-Haj at the University of Tennessee. As with most concerts here, it should be free.

Iraqi Music in Times of War, performed by guest artist Rahim Al-Haj, Iraqi composer and Ud player, 7:30 pm Oct 8, UT Music Hall auditorium. Sponsored by UT School of Music. http://www.music.utk.edu/Concerts.html

Mr. Al-Haj will also be taking part in the Global Symposium on Multicultural Music on October 6-9, 2004. This will be held at UT, as well. I think the cost is around $145.00 for the event.

Here's a link to Mr. Al-Haj's web-site:

If anyone from the forum is planning on going to the concert, get in touch via e-mail. It's always a pleasure to meet other oud players!

Cheers,
William

I will gladly make the trip. I have "The Second Baghdad," and I think it's outstanding.

Do you know of any teachers in Nashville? I actually emailed the Nashville Islamic Center, but got no reply. Thanks.
