Art Alert: Awtar Quartet to hold rooftop concert at Darb 1718

Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 04 - 08 - 2016

A concert by Awtar Quartet featuring a selection of western classical music spanning the 17th century to 20th century is scheduled for 24 August on the roof of Darb 1718.
The concert is part of Darb 1718's Mazzika x El Sat7 concert nights, and will feature an unconventional approach to classical music.
“The roof and its setup as an unusual venue for classical music, to playing only excerpts of each musical work making the average duration of each piece 3-4 minutes, covering 400 years evolution of musical styles and techniques in 1 hour,” the event description on Facebook read.
Founded in December 2012, the Awtar Quartet performs a variety of music genres, from Arabic to easy listening compositions, as well as Western classical music gems.
The ensemble has also organised and participated in numerous events that aimed to bring classical music to young listeners and fuse storytelling with music.
The quartet consists of Egyptian musicians Yasser Ghoneim on first violin, Khaled Saleh on second violin, Essam Abdel-Hamid on viola and Mohamed Abdel-Fattah on cello.
Programme:
Wednesday, 24 August, 8.30pm
Darb 1718, Kasr El Shama Street, Al Fakhareen, Cairo, Egypt
