Concert -->> Timeless Egypt: Egypt's Legacy in Motion

Music in-Takht, a wonderful Bay Area-based Egyptian heritage ensemble that wowed Meetup members at last year's SF International Arts Festival, returns to the Mission District's Community Music Center for another Arts Fest concert - this one featuring four world premieres by band members! The band's music selections for the evening will range from classical Egyptian music to contemporary Egyptian fusions with jazz, Irish, and Western classical music. I believe the core musicians will be the same as at last year's concert (plus a guest artist this time) : **Violinist and Music Director:** Basma Edrees **Oud:** Matthew Wright **Nay:** Seif Ibrahim **Egyptian percussion and Drumset:** Mohamed Abdelradi **Egyptian percussion:** Loay Dahbour **Bass:** Ernesto Mazar Kindelan **Keyboards:** Daniel Filip **Harp:** Destiny Muhammad (guest artist) CONCERT COST: Ticket prices for this general-admission-seating event are about $23 to $33, *depending on when you buy your tickets.* ***NOTE: The Early Bird ticket price of about $23 is available through March 31.*** I also request a one dollar donation from Meetup RSVPers who can afford it, to defray the hefty fees that Meetup charges me as lead organizer. TICKETS/SEATING: **Buy your own tickets.** General admission seating.
