AKDN – October 27, 2009 – What do nineteen musicians hailing from eight countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Eurasia have in common? That was the question that participants in Remix Asia strove to answer during an intensive, fortnight-long workshop and concert tour that ended in Aleppo, Syria on October 18.
The participants included sixteen young composer-performers and three master musicians who led Remix Asia’s programme of rehearsals and performances of new works inspired by traditional musical forms and styles. The master musicians were renowned vocalist Alim Qasimov (Azerbaijan), popular composer, oud player, and leading music educator Charbel Rouhana (Lebanon), and award-winning film composer and performer Khaled Mohammed Ali (Iraq).
