The Graduate Center, CUNY - The Graduate Center Elebash Hall
Marking the first anniversary of the Arab Spring, the Palestinian-American oud and violin maestro Simon Shaheen premieres his composition "The Call" with guest dancer Elena Lentini. Shaheen performs an evening of songs and freedom anthems of the 1950s that have found new resonance in the recent Middle Eastern and North African revolutions."
