Wednesday, April 12, 2017Alternative FactsBeirut, LebanonThe role media plays to express, influence and consequently mold the public perception about various issues is unprecedented. There are grave consequences for both the media and the youth in a society increasingly controlled and managed through the news channels. Today, everyone is spending more time in watching TV news channels. The programs on the news channels influence our decision process and shape our perceptions of the world. And It is impossible to escape the pervading impact of these news channels. Alternative Facts is a performance to shed some light on the other side of any story. Together, we will experience the difference between a piece of news and facts. The report tells us that more Syrian refugees than not are part of some terrorist groups, the truth is not quite that.
"Alternative Facts" is a blend of Arabic and Western music to reflect the treatment of Arab-related news by the western media, it is also a mixture of music, singing, spoken word, dancing and acting to reflect the power of image and illustration.more info...

Vocalizing the HornStony Brook, NYVocalizing the Horn A pedagogical approach to interpreting Arab vocal music on the horn
Since commissioning the Egyptian composer and trumpet player Mohammad Sawaah to write a work for horn that contains many of the Arab vocal characteristics, I have researched different ways to interpret this type of music on the horn and will perform the commissioned piece in my lecture recital. To maximize the chances of sounding as authentic as possible, along with my research, I have composed a short “Book of Etudes,” which will reflect a few different ways to practice the Arab vocal characteristics on the horn.
