About Arab music:
Arab music contains an array of emotional spaces not found in Western music tradition. It is highly decorated with little frills, and, in songs, combined with long complex phrases sung by Aswat vocalists who pause not even for a breath. Instrumental pieces are intricate, requiring talent and skill as it involves Taqasīm (improvisation) in which musicians transition from one maqām (melodic mode) to another, and then modulate back to the original maqām. Aswat percussionists and qanūn (zither) players have gained admiration in concerts from this transitional modulation.
About the Musical Director:
Omar Abbad’s musical direction is informed by decades of a life immersed in Arab music. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Musicology, specializing in ‘Oud, from Jordan Academy of Music and a Masters of Arts in Musicology from Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan. He founded and conducts al-Nagham al-Aseel, and composes and arranges for such groups as Awtar Amman Ensemble and Children’s Ensemble for Arab Music in Jordan. He has conducted various University orchestras and ensembles, including the Jordan Academy of Music Ensemble and al-Hannouneh, which specializes in Palestinian folk music. Famous Jordanian singers are no stranger to him as well. Omar has conducted the likes of Macadi Nahas, Ayda al-Amerkani, and Lara el-Layyan. His musical talent and expertise have brought him to Europe, and now to the United States. The first Aswat concert he directed was one of Aswat’s most memorable and successful: Salute to the Youth of Egypt & Tunisia in February 2011. He returns this year to conduct Aswat for another season.
