🎻✨ Where Arabic maqams meet modern jazz.
Layale Chaker and her dynamic ensemble Sarafand weave melodies from the Levant into stunning, jazz-infused soundscapes.

🎶 A genre-defying performance led by one of the most captivating violinists and composers of our time, this is music that transcends borders—and lingers in the soul.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of Arabic Jazz Fusion at Kimball Hall.
