Celebrate Syria with The London Syrian Ensemble

The London Syrian Ensemble is visiting Frome for an afternoon workshop and evening concert of Syrian music on Sunday 27th January. 

‘Out of the detritus of war, a thing of beauty was born.’

The group is a collective of some of Syria’s finest musicians based in the UK. They are a group of both newly-arrived and long-term residents who either studied or taught in the eminent Damascus Conservatoire. They bring the sounds of Syria, offering a joyous performance of classical and traditional music from the region; one that’s full of energy, beauty and humanity, and one that offers a positive and optimistic opportunity to celebrate Syrian culture.

Tickets are available from the Cheese and Grain at £15 in advance/£17.50 on door/£6 under 18s (plus service charges).  

A Syrian supper is also being served by local families from 5.30pm-6.30pm at £6 per person, tickets through the Cheese & Grain.

This event is being hosted by the charity Young People Frome; for further information or interest in the afternoon workshop please email azeema@ fromeactive.org.uk
