Echoes of Khorshid: A Night of Electrified Arabic Music

An evening celebrating the electrified Arabic guitar style of Omar Khorshid, the legendary musician who accompanied Umm Kulthum's tarab ensembles. This is a chance to experience the intricate, soulful sound that defined a generation of Arabic music through the lens of one of its most influential instrumentalists.

Omar Khorshid stands as a towering figure in 20th-century Arabic music, known for his virtuosic electric guitar work that bridged traditional tarab sensibilities with modern amplification. His collaborations with Umm Kulthum and other major artists shaped the sound of Egyptian and broader Arab popular music.
