Brooklyn Maqam regretfully announces that because of visa complications, Firas Andari will not be making it to the US to perform. We are really disappointed, but remain committed to presenting beautiful music in place of his scheduled performances.
Palestinian vocalist Mona Miari will be stepping in to perform at the Lincoln Center Atrium this Saturday at 7:30pm. Mona is a wonderful vocalist and we are excited to present her at this gorgeous venue. We can't wait to see everyone there for this FREE show!
Habibi Festival will be announcing their new lineup shortly, keep an eye on their website, and we hope to see everyone at Joe's Pub for the amazing week of music they have in store.
Thanks, as always, for your support.
