Maqam Ensemble with Tareq Rantisi
Bridging Contemporary and Classical Arabic Music with Currents of World Music & Jazz
Maqam Ensemble Is a virtuosic Ensemble founded in 2015 bridging contemporary and classical Arabic music with distinct currents of world music and jazz. Maqam Quintet’s cohesive sound offers its listeners a microscopic experience of Arabic music and a chance to explore new sounds rooted in that rich tradition connecting the past of Arabic music with its future.
The unique instrumentation of the Ensemble - Qanun (an ancient flat harp), Oud (a short-neck lute-type string instrument), Violin, Cello and Percussion - combined with the virtuosity and diversity of the ensemble creates a musical experience ancient to few and new to many. With an experience in the Arabic and World music scene in the United States, Maqam Quintet is a cultural ambassador to Arabic music, focused on researching, performing and presenting Arabic music and its contemporary forms at the highest level of musicality and technicality.
Tareq Rantisi has performed several times in Westminster to great acclaim. He received the Al-Qattan Foundation Music Scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music, receiving a degree in Percussion Performance, graduating with highest honors having mastered styles from jazz to Afro-Cuban to Carnatic Indian to Brazilian and more. Tareq has performed with some of the biggest names in modern music, including Jack deJohnette, Steve Smith, Paul Winter, Simon Shaheen, Aaron Goldberg, Srinivas Krishnan, Victor Mendoza, and many more.
