SUMMARY:HALIFAX\, NS - 'Letters to a Homeland' with Kinan Azmeh\, Layale Chaker\, Dinuk Wijeratne and friends
DESCRIPTION:Director\, composer\, and drummer-percussionist Nick Halley is bringing together dear friends and powerhouse musicians to perform a spellbinding evening of original Middle Eastern and South Asian works\, in support of Capella Regalis Choirs and its free music education programs for children. The intimate concert will take place on Sunday\, September 22 at 5 pm and will be followed by a reception next door in the Great Hall. A full Syrian mezze-style dinner will be served\, and there will be a bar serving Levant-inspired cocktails and drinks. \nABOUT THE MUSICIANS\nOriginally from Damascus\, Syria\, clarinetist Kinan Azmeh brings his “spellbinding” (The New Yorker) music to all corners of the world as a soloist\, composer\, and improviser. French-Lebanese violinist and composer Layale Chaker was raised speaking multiple languages\, both linguistically and musically. Her complex sound universe\, described by NPR as “beguiling” with “bright and beautiful strands … gorgeous\, wine-dark swirls\,” lies at the intersection of contemporary classical music\, jazz\, Arabic music\, and improvisation. Sri Lankan-born Canadian musician Dinuk Wijeratne is a boundary-crossing composer\, conductor\, and pianist\, whose work “reflects a positive vision of our cultural future” (The Toronto Star). Nova Scotia’s award-winning jazz bassist\, composer\, and educator Tom Easley and of course Nick himself will complete the ensemble to explore through musical collaboration what the idea of ‘home’ means to us all. \nPreview this ensemble’s music by listening to their live performance of Dinuk Wijeratne’s “This Way Up” at the Chan Arts Centre in Vancouver in 2023. \n\n\nTHE TICKETS – ONLY 100 AVAILABLE!$150\, including the concert\, a Levant-inspired cocktail\, full Syrian mezze dinner\, and $100 tax receipt.\nAvailable at capellaregalis.com/events.
