work by company member Helen Voelker. Plus, your ears are in for a treat as we bring you an all-acoustic instrumental ensemble! National Arab Orchestra Music Director, Michael Ibrahim, will be performing on the traditional nay and oud, along with Minnesota’s incomparable world musicians Tim O’Keefe on percussion, Laura Harada on violin, and Yaron Klein on viola.

There’s more! We’re pleased to share a very special surprise guest vocalist, performing her unique performance piece using the music of Um Kalthoum.
