Maya Youssef and Friends

Friday 11 October 2024

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

“Finding home is also about losing home” says Maya Youssef – and while this Syrian-born qanun virtuoso is one of the supreme exponents of the 78-stringed plucked zither, she’s also an artist who transcends boundaries: a brilliant composer, a dazzling instrumentalist, and an educator whose music draws strength and beauty from her experience of exile. Tonight, along with Ben Smith on piano and Elizabeth Nott on percussion, she performs material from her albums Finding Home and Syrian Dreams – music that reflects on her experience of dislocation and loss, as well as the new horizons she has explored since arriving in the UK in 2012.
