Description
Sérgio and Odair Assad, guitar; Christiane Karam, vocals; Clarice Assad, piano and vocals; Jamey Haddad, percussion
"Their speed, their gorgeous tone, their uncanny musical memories ... and their ability to play thousands of notes without a single clinker, click, or buzz are the stuff of guitar gods," raves the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel of the Assad brothers. In a program that returns to their ancestral Lebanese musical roots, Sérgio and Odair perform new settings of ancient and modern Lebanese texts by award-winning songwriter and vocalist Christiane Karam. Joined by internationally renowned percussionist Keita Ogawa and Sérgio's daughter Clarice Assad, a brilliant musician in her own right, they explore the fascinating rhythmic connections between Middle Eastern and Brazilian music.
Tickets are $26 for the general public, $22 for senior citizens and Northwestern faculty and staff, and $10 for students.
