GENERAL PRESENTATION:
The MAQAM system of modal scales is the basis of much of the music of the Islamic world. A complex musical system which is infinitely rewarding to those who know its ways.
Since 2010 the "Maqam Project @ SOAS" has organised a number of concerts and workshops focusing on particular modes within the Maqam tradition (Hijaz, Rast, Saba, Usshaq).
