On Monday 1 February CTM presents a unique evening with Abdel Karim Shaar. Like the masterful Umm Kulthum, a legendary Egyptian songwriter, singer, and actress, Shaar is closely linked to the traditional concept of tarab, which describes music’s evocation of emotional catharsis. Visitors can choose from regular seats, or special seats around a table, which include authentic Lebanese finger food and wine for a full evening experience. A highly-recommended event!
