"THE MAQAM PROJECT @ SOAS" is a project designed to develop public understandings about the "maqam" system in Middle Eastern and other modal musics.
.
Our inaugural concert at the Cockpit Theatre, Marylebone ["An Evening in Hijaz Mode" - 4 March 2010] featured songs and instrumental pieces from various national traditions, in one of the popular modes the mode of Hijaz, and its associates.
.
The second concert at the Cockpit ["An Evening in Ushshaq Mode"] was held on 8 April 2010. Video clips from both concerts are posted on this Youtube site.

The third concert ["An Evening in Saba Mode"] was held on Thursday 3 June 2010.

The fourth concert ["An Evening in Rast Maqam"] will be held on Thursday 4 November 2010. Tickets can be reserved by e-mail to maqamproject [@] soas.ac.uk.
