Cairo Nights
​

Musical Director: Daniel Woodfield 

Musical arrangements: Jake Fletcher, Martin Stokes, Daniel Woodfield

'Cairo Nights' is an opportunity to hear the uniquely cosmopolitan soundworld of
1950s Egypt that survives mostly in recordings alone.

This concert is a collaborative project between Oxford Maqam and some of
London's finest young musical talent to form the Oxford Maqam Big Band.

تقدم فرقة أكسفورد مقام برنامج "ليالي القاهرة" يوم 20 مايو بقاعة جرينوود في لندن
