In our season finale, San Francisco’s The Qadim Ensemble unites musicians versed in deeply-rooted musical traditions throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean basin, celebrating the common musical and spiritual heritage of the region’s cultures while honoring the great diversity found within them. Wandering Dove—An Offering of Hebrew and Arabic Song, presents liturgical and secular songs both in Hebrew and Arabic, in which the dove is the unifying motif—a symbol for peace in the Middle East and all over the world.  The Qadim Ensemble includes Eliyahu Sills on the ney (the reed flute of the Middle East), Rachel Valfer Sills on oud and vocals, Faisal Zedan on Arabic percussion (such as darbukkah, riqq & daf). The ensemble is joined by world-renowned Palestinian Qanun master and vocalist, Ali Paris.
