SUMMARY:John Kameel Farah
DESCRIPTION:Music of Liberation\nTickets\nIf cost is a barrier\, please reach out to info@mayworkskjipuktukhalifax.ca\nand we will accommodate you.\nIn this extraordinary concert\, Palestinian-Canadian pianist and composer John Kameel Farah embraces elements of Baroque and Near-Eastern music\, improvisation and electronic music to create what he calls “Arabic-Baroque-Cyberpunk.” Surrounding the piano with synthesizers\, he combines a vivid and playful imagination with virtuosic musicianship. Accompanied by projections of his intricate ink drawings\, the performance sounds through the lens of Palestinian struggle\, identity and heritage\, drawing connections across histories and liberation movements. \nTHE SAMEER PROJECT is a Palestinian-led mutual aid group supporting people in Gaza during the genocide. It is a donations based initiative\, led by Palestinians in the diaspora\, who are working to supply aid to displaced families in Gaza. Fiscal host: Social Change Nest. \nVisit www.mayworkskjipuktukhfx.ca for more details! \nEvent by Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax: Festival of Working People & the Arts and Upstream Music Association

SUMMARY:DalOpera Scenes with DalChamber Music Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Before Broadway\, there was Opera.\n\n\nOpera laid the musical and dramatic groundwork that allowed Golden Age musical theatre to flourish—where story\, character\, and song are inseparable.
