Perspectives: Anouar Brahem Quartet

Eight years after Blue Maqams (ECM), he returns with a poignant project and album titled after a line of verse by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, which asks “Where should the birds fly, after the last sky?” Graceful chamber pieces for oud, cello, piano and bass subtly address the metaphysical question and its broad resonances in a troubled time.

At NCH, Anouar performs this music with his international quartet. The album marks the first time that Anouar has included a cellist in his group music.
