Renowned Israeli musician, Yair Dalal, will lead Cornell University music ensembles in a collaborative concert hosted by Congregation Tikkun V’Or. Born in Israel to Iraqi immigrants, Mr. Dalal has spent his career exploring his Iraqi heritage while forging cross cultural connections through music and advocating for peaceful coexistence in Israel and Palestine.
This concert will bring together Jewish and Muslim students from Cornell playing music together with an Israeli musician of Iraqi heritage. Some of the repertoire would have been played by Iraqi Jewish and Muslim musicians in Iraq up until the mid-20th century.
This event is made possible in part by support from Cornell Jewish Studies Program, Department of Near East Studies, SAFC, Hans Bethe House, Flora Rose House, and Cornell Hillel.
Also available at the door: $20 (adults), $15 (students), $10 (children 12 and under)
