Vassar College Fall Concert Series: Hamid Al-Saadi Ensemble

A leading practitioner of Iraqi maqam, Hamid Al-Saadi’s music combines classical poetry with a dizzyingly complex system of musical ornamentation, modulation and improvisation. Each performance is both unique to the moment and representative of a tradition that dates back to the medieval courts of the Abbasid empire (8th-13th century Iraq).

Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact the Office of Campus Activities at (845) 437-5370. Skinner Recital Hall is equipped with a LOOP Hearing System. The loop will offer improved clarity for persons with hearing loss who wear telecoil — or T-coil — equipped hearing aids.
