Mustafa Said
Encounter the rich musical traditions of Egypt and the Levant with Mustafa Said, award-winning Egyptian singer, musicologist and composer!
About Mustafa Said
He is renowned for his playing on the oud, a Middle Eastern stringed instrument with similarities to the lute. He performs internationally both as a soloist and in the Asil Ensemble (which he founded), has composed music for theatre, film and the concert hall, and is in great demand as a lecturer on Arabic music. In 2019 he became the inaugural winner of the prestigious Aga Khan Music Award for performance.
For Said, music is both an educational and a spiritual pursuit that requires deep listening. In a concert that is visually enhanced by documentary excerpts, expect an enlightening exploration of the rich musical traditions of Egypt and the Levant.
