Join us at the museum on level 4 for a magical evening with a performance by the Andalus Arabic Choir.
The Andalus Arabic Choir is a non-for-profit multicultural Australian organisation formed to promote Arabic heritage, art, music and culture. Members of the Andalus Arabic Choir include male and female Sydneysiders of Arabic origin in addition to Australians of other ethnic backgrounds. The songs are all in Arabic; non-Arabic singers are provided transliterated text of the lyrics. The choir's conductor, Ghada Daher-Elmowy is an archaeologist passionate about both music and archaeology!
The Andalus Arabic Choir reflects the vibrant, creative, multicultural and tolerant era of Andalucia. We sing Arabic and Andalusian songs in various dialects from Andalucia to the Middle-East crossing North Africa. The repertoire includes other genres of music: traditional, folk, pop, fusion and original songs.
The Andalus Arabic Choir aims to introduce fascinating music, exotic rhythms and songs put to live in enchanting performances at cultural events engaging local musicians and artists from various backgrounds.
