The Orchestra of Fes will delight audiences with a concert of Andalusian classical music, a tradition at the core of contemporary Moroccan culture and evolved over centuries of cultural exchange between North Africa, Spain, Portugal, and southern European Muslim traditions. The beautiful voice of Jewish vocalist Françoise Atlan will join the chamber ensemble to highlight the rich tradition of Sephardic music that is an integral part of the Moroccan experience.

This concert provides an opportunity for the public to enjoy a free musical performance by the Orchestra of Fes featuring Françoise Atlan, and to learn more about Moroccan music and culture through conversations with the artists.
