Concerts for Peace
Sunday, October 25; 3:30pm
A joyous afternoon of Hebrew and Arabic Music

Concerts for Peace is the only group that features virtuoso singers and instrumentalists equally proficient in the rhythms and inflections of both Hebrew and Arabic music. The nine-member group is co-led by Hebrew and Arabic vocal specialists: Hazzan Jack Kessler, one of the masters of Jewish spiritual song, and the great Lebanese singer, composer and ‘oud virtuoso Maurice Chedid. The resulting musical collaboration is infectious, joyous, deep, sweet, and passionate.

He was also an accomplished classical violinist, country fiddler, and mandolin player who joined musical groups wherever he traveled.
