BRAVO! Professional Performing Arts Series Welcomes Kanun Artist Firas Zreik to Campus for Final Fall Performance

BYU BRAVO! Professional Performing Arts Series closes out its Fall 2024 programming with a unique artist known for his talents on the kanun. Curious about the kanun
“Firas Zreik’s music is impossible to categorize in the best possible way,” said BRAVO! Series producer and presenter Lyndsay Keith
A Palestine-born New Yorker, Zreik has performed and recorded across the globe, in a variety of settings ranging from festivals and museums to some of the most well-known theaters in the world. He received a Bachelor of Arts in music from Berklee College of Music. He has recorded and released three albums and a solo EP. Since 2013, he has become a sought-after collaborator, artist and educator.
Keith said, “To hear microtonal Maqam mixed with modal, improvisatory jazz, for example, is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever experienced.”
Experience the one-of-a-kind sounds of the kanun and have your view of world music expanded on Nov. 15 in the BYU Music Building Recital Hall.
