Ghosts and rituals

What happens when rituals lose their meaning, and how can we breathe new life into them? That question lies at the heart of GHOSTS, the new performance of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra which they will tour with this fall. This afternoon, we are treated to a musical sneak peak. Together with Sudanese singer Mohamed Al Tayeb, the musicians of the AAO will perform compositions that echo the Arab-Andalusian as well as the Sudanese musical heritage.

For years, the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra has been creating highly acclaimed performances that keep the musical culture of Al-Andalus alive. At the intersection of Arab, African and European traditions, the group never fails to surprise. 

Outdoor concert
This Terrace Concert is an outdoor event. The sun can be intense and the wind can be quite strong near the water, so come prepared. In the event of unfavourable weather conditions, the performance will be held indoors in the Entrance Hall, which overlooks the river IJ.
