This very special debut will celebrate new music by eminent composer Chalf Hassan and inspirational choreography by Melanie Norman whose artistry is steadily winning acclaim both in the UK and Cairo. It will also mark the release of The Arab Quarter's first CD which will be on sale.

The Arab Quarter Band will include the highly regarded Bashir Abdel Aal on ney, the famous and most sought after Emile Bassili on violin, the talented George Dergham on keyboards, the respected Mazin Abu Sayf on accordion, plus other guest musicians to join the versatile multi-instrumentalist Chalf Hassan on oud, vocals and tabla.
