Join us for an unforgettable evening with internationally acclaimed Palestinian oud player and composer Nizar Rohana, as he performs his deeply personal and powerful solo project Safa.
Celebrated for his virtuosic playing and innovative compositions, Rohana blends tradition with modernity, creating music that is both rooted in the classical Arabic repertoire and resonant with contemporary expression. His latest album Safa—hailed as one of the best albums of 2024—offers a moving journey through lyrical melodies, intricate improvisations, and compositions rich in emotion and clarity.
Born in the village of ‘Isifya on Mount Carmel and now based in the Netherlands, Nizar’s musical journey has spanned continents, collaborations with leading international artists, and academic achievements, including a PhD in music from Leiden University. Safa is a tribute to his roots, his artistic evolution, and his ongoing response to the complex realities of his homeland.
Don’t miss this intimate performance that showcases the oud in its purest form and reaffirms the power of music to express identity, resilience, and hope.
