Beyond Lyrics: Egypt's Legacy of Instrumental Music"Embark on a captivating musical journey as the all-Egyptian ensemble "Music in-Takht," led by Egyptian-American violinist Basma Edrees, takes center stage. Deviating from the vocal-dominated landscape of typical Egyptian concerts, this event offers a unique exploration of instrumental finesse, resurrecting Egypt's instrumental musical tradition and highlighting contemporary instrumental works. Against the backdrop of current global affairs, the concert pays tribute to the struggle of the Palestinian people (with whom Egyptians share a musical tradition), presenting two pieces by Palestinian composers. Join us for an evening where music becomes a powerful narrative beyond words."إنطلقوا معنا فى رحلة موسيقية ساحرة مع فرقة "ميوزيك إن-تخت" بقيادة عازفة الكمان المصرية بسمة إدريس. يتميز الحفل بالإبتعاد عن النمط الغنائي المتداول في الموسيقى العربية، مقدما استكشافا فريدا للآلات الموسيقية بدون غناء. تسعى الفرقة لإحياء تراث الموسيقى الآلية المصرية، مع التركيز على جمال و قدرات الآلات الموسيقية و مهارة عازفيها.
يأتي الحفل في ظل الأحداث المأساوية في غزة، مع تقديم عملين لمؤلفين فلسطينيين معاصريين- نسيم دكور و نسيم الأطرش - في محاولة و لو بسيطة لإلقاء الضوء على إسهام المؤلفين الفلسطينيين فى التراث الموسيقى الإنسانى و مقاومة الدعايا العنصرية التى تحاول تجريد الشعب الفلسطينى من إنسانيته.
