Complementing and preceding the ALEPPO ALIVE concert on June 14th is a lecture by Syrian music expert Dr. Jonathan Shannon titled “Performing Endangered Musics: Aleppo’s Wasla Tradition”. The discussion will be about the history of Aleppo, the historical background to the wasla, the major genres, performance practice, the current situation, and the challenges artists and audiences face today. Definitely an enriching talk that will help us all understand the musical heritage that we tragically stand to lose with the destruction of Aleppo. FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
