Programme Note
Rihab Azar is a London-based, Syrian/British oud player. Performing internationally since 2008, in 2014 she became the first woman oudist to perform accompanied by the Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music and in 2016 Arts Council England recognised her as a musician of 'Exceptional Promise'.
Join Rihab for a low stimulus performance as part of Wigmore Hall's Imagine Series. Rihab will perform music without sudden or loud volume in this informal concert. She'll introduce each piece and share some stories and facts about the music along the way.
The concert will benefit from natural daylight through Wigmore Hall’s frosted glass ceiling, and all other lighting in the auditorium itself will be kept low. Announcements will be kept to a minimum and there will be a quiet space in the Learning Room. Audiences may leave and re-enter when needed. Hand dryers in the toilets will be switched off and paper towels available instead.
Low stimulus performances may benefit some neurodivergent people and all those who prefer a quieter environment. For more information, visit wigmore-hall.org.uk/imagine-series.
