UCLA Spring Festival
1997 |
The
Ensemble performs in its entirety every year during the Spring Festival of World Music, held at Schoenberg Hall.
An audience of three to five hundred enjoys a night
of powerful music and dance, with inspiring improvisations and performances from the thirty to fifty
musicians on stage that often include numerous guest artists. The accompanying video clip
from the 1997 UCLA Spring festival features the Near East Ensemble directed by Prof. Jihad
Racy, with guest percussionist Souhail Kaspar and guest dancer Sahra.
