The Office of the Arts is delighted to announce an exciting concert that promises to add a touch of musical magic to your week.
Join us for Music Outdoors right after work, featuring the extraordinary talents of Saudi virtuoso qanun player, Masoud Alaseri, and his brilliant trio. Let the enchanting melodies and the soothing breeze create the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience.
A string instrument with a beautiful, clean and high-quality sound, the qanun is referred to as the ra’is (chief or leader) of musical instruments. More than any other instrument in an Arab orchestra, the qanun is suitable for the display of virtuosity and the execution of rapid scale. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness an outstanding performance, unlike any other.
