Qanoun Queen - Dance Workshop
1:30pm-4:30pm
Broadmayne Hall, Cowleaze Road, Broadmayne, Dorchester. DT2 8EW
Unravel the mysteries of the king of the Arabic orchestra: the qanoun. Known as ‘the law’ in Arabic, the qanoun is among the oldest and most distinctive musical instruments in ‘Sharqi’ or Eastern music, yet it is also the most misunderstood by dancers – with few able to match and respond appropriately to its complex phrasing.Arabic music expert Guy Schalom leads you on a dance journey from the Iberian plains of Ziryab’s Andalusia through the royal courts of the Ottoman Empire all the way to Badiya Masabni’s Casino Opera and Egypt’s movie-age. Accompanied by Qanoun player, Ali Kabalan.Register by contacting Diane HERE

Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band - UK Tour
Various, UK
Tossed together in 1984 on a ‘let’s see what we come up with’ basis for a Yuletide Radio 2 broadcast, what began as a one-off session in a village hall in Cumbria has endured for over twenty years and has become something of a tradition in its own right!
Fortunately it shows little danger of fossilization as both parties keep coming up with new ideas. The 2001 collaboration and fifth album, ‘Gold Frankincense and Myrrh’ introduced a good deal of Arabic and African-influenced music into the equation. The next project explored the lives of eighteenth century female soldiers and the ballads they inspired. For what comes after that, keep watching this space!
