Arab Christmas By Candlelight

Arab Christmas by Candlelight

Tue 7 January, 20:00
£22 + bf / Conc £10 + bf

After a sold out evening, we are delighted to see the return of Arab Christmas at Grand Junction!

Join us for a rare opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Christmas in the Arab world as the Grand Junction gently lit by candles. You will hear Arabic, Syriac, Coptic and Byzantine chants, harking back to the time of Queen Zanubia’s Palmyra in the second century CE. The sound world of these chants is rich with quarter tones and virtuosic ornamentation.

Line-up to be announced.

The evening is presented by Arts Canteen in collaboration with Grand Junction.
