Dear Friends, a few things to share as we await the approaching spring!
• Recent tour in Northern California, including visits to UC-Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, masterclass with fantastic music students at Oakland's Edna Brewer Middle School, and a sold-out concert at the wonderful music venue Kuumba's.
Check out the first from a series of videos made in Santa Cruz, at the great music venue Kuumba's. ASEFA in trio format (Samuel Torjman Thomas, oud/vocals; Jeremy Brown, violin; Dror Sinai, percussion), performing a diverse Maghrebi repertoire in a pared down, intimate treatment. We start this series with a piece by the great Albert Suissa! FOLLOW OUR VIDEO SERIES FROM KUUMBA'S
