UD Festival: October 5 through November 24
A festival entirely dedicated to the instrument that forms the musical bridge between east and west. The ud (also spelled oud) once made a long journey from Baghdad to Andalusia, and formed the basis of a musical revolution in the West. Much of this influence is due to the legendary 9th-century musician Ziryab: polymath, innovator, composer, singer and more. He saw how to give the instrument new life, and laid the foundations of a range of musical traditions, including the Arab-Andalusian repertoire. Today, the ud appears in a number of musical genres. In jazz, it comes into its own as an instrument of innovation; in spiritual music we see how the ud reaches deep into the soul; the modern classical repertoire highlights the ud’s distinctive voice, as both a solo and orchestral instrument. Mohamed Aadroun, Yassine Boussaid, Hassan Bakkali, Robin Vermeulen (Amsterdams Andalusisch Orkest)

Storyteller Sahand Sahebdivani and Iranian ud player Yasamin Shahhosseini bring Persian tales from antiquity to life. Shahhosseini (born in 1992, in Teheran) is a special guest at the Ud Festival. She studied classical music at Tehran Conservatory and now teaches at the institute. In her solo work, she succeeds in incorporating variations of the classical Persian maqam tradition into contemporary compositions. Over the past few years, Sahebdivani has become the live face of storytelling. Inspired by old tales, he also has a personal take on topical issues that resonates with today’s audiences, making a big name for himself in Europe with Kingdom of Clay and Fire. The two Persian artists come together for a sensational show at Mezrab, ‘The House of Storytelling’. Shahhosseini will perform selections from her solo compositions, as well as colouring Sahebdivani tales with a musical score.
