Ensemble Urmawi offers a musical journey spanning from the Levant to Central Asia, bridging the Arabic vocal repertoire of Muwashah with the Persian Tasnif. The ensemble’s repertoire also features compositions by Showan Tavakol, inspired by Kurdish dances. Under the artistic direction of singer and oud player Lamia Yared, ancient 19th-century repertoires are revived, distinguished by their exquisite poetry, sung in both Arabic and Farsi.
