Oum Kalthoum was one of the most influential female musicians of the Arab world in the 20th century. She became a legend after her death in 1975. This concert is an ode to Kalthoum’s heritage, and it is The Wedding Orchestra for Middle Eastern Music’s first project. The orchestra is an initiative by the director Ariel Efraim Ashbel; he is bringing together professional musicians from throughout the world.
أم كلثوم (1904-1975) من أكثر الفنانين تأثيراً في العالم العربي في القرن العشرين.
الاحتفال بالأيقونة أم كلثوم: هو إحتفالية بتراث هذه المغنية الأسطورية المصرية.
تتألف الأوركسترا من مجموعة من الموسيقيين المقيمين في برلين من خلفيات ثقافية مختلفة,
يتعاونون مع مغنية الأوبرا والمغنية روثروزنفيلد،
وبشكل خاص لعروض مهرجان “كراس”.
»Growing up as an Arab Jew in Israel, the music of Oum Kalthoum, Farid Al-Atrash, Asmahan, Fairuz and many others has been a staple in my home and cultural circles despite the Zionist imperative to erase the arabness of the so-called “Mizrahi” jews. In the summer of 2016, I published an open call for musicians interested in Khaltoum’s legacy, attracting Berlin based musicians from Syria, Turkey, Germany, Israel, Greece, Italy, the US and Russia; Muslims, Christians and Jews; All consider Oum Kalthoum as part of our cultural heritage.« (Ariel Efraim Ashbel)
