Kinan Azmeh at The Park on Oct. 28

On Wednesday, October 28 at 8 pm, join us for an evening of original compositions and inspiring improvisations with the Kinan Azmah Quartet. The ensemble features Kinan Azmeh, clarinet, composer, Kyle Sanna, guitar, John Hadfield, percussion, and Josh Myers, double bass.

Described as “engagingly flamboyant” by the L.A Times and “a virtuosic, unique sound” by the Daily Star, Kinan Azmeh is one of Syria’s rising stars. Combining classical training from Juilliard with a deep understanding of diverse musical traditions, Kinan’s unique compositions bridge Classical, Jazz, Electronica and Arabic genres.
