A celebration of Iraqi music and of the power that music has to unite people across religious boundaries and national borders.

This concert brings together superb Iraqi musicians and their ensembles - the leading Maqam exponent Farida Mohammad Ali (now resident in Holland), composer, violinist and oud player Yair Dalal (an Iraqi Jew from Israel) and the London-based composer and oud soloist Ahmed Mukhtar.

Inspired by the documentary film of the same name being made by Marsha Emerman and Majid Shokor.
