Festival Creative Music Lab III – Women in Oriental Music
Creative Music Labb III – Creative Music Labb III
© Yara Azzam
Creative Music Lab III is a six-day music festival dedicated to the creative voices of women in the musical traditions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Many musical traditions of the Middle East have been transmitted for centuries through oral culture. Within these, singers play a crucial role in preserving and passing on melodies, poetry, and musical knowledge. At the same time, contemporary musicians reinterpret these traditions in new contexts, connecting them with modern musical languages and global artistic influences. The program brings together singers, composers, and instrumentalists, exploring the relationship between musical heritage and contemporary artistic expression.
The festival features Basma Jabr Quartet, Mirna Kassis Trio, DJ İpek İpekçioğlu, Samin Ghorbani with Rembrandt Frerichs, Meral Polat Quartet, Levant Echo Trio, Rima Khcheich Trio, and Kamilya Jubran. The closing concert presents Amel Sdiri, Hamsa Mounif, and Lana Oudeh, accompanied by Tarek Yamani Trio, Kinan Abuakel, and percussionist Elias Abboud.
