Rahim Alhaj in concert
Common Fence Music is pleased to announce a live performance of Iraqi oud music by award-winning musician and composer Rahim Alhaj. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, virtuoso oud player and composer Rahim AlHaj deftly combines traditional Iraqi maqams – highly structured and semi-improvised songs of a centuries-old Iraqi urban classical music tradition – with contemporary stylings and influences. He has found in his ancient instrument, a lute whose written history spans some 5,000 years, a unique voice that speaks passionately to contemporary listeners of every musical background.
WHERE: Common Fence Point Hall, 933 Anthony Road, Portsmouth
WHEN: Saturday, Nov. 18; 8 p.m.
COST: $25 in advance, $28 at the door
