Ensemble Al-Kindî

Ensemble Al-Kindî

Ensemble Al-Kindî has been played on NTS shows including Questing w/ Zakia, with Taqsim Qanun En Maqam Hijaz - Improvisation De Cythare Orientale Par Julien Jalâl Eddine Weiss first played on 24 August 2019.

Ensemble Al-Kindî is an Arabic classical group from Aleppo, Syria, founded in 1983 by the French virtuoso of Arab zither Julien Weiss. Currently rated among the best formations devoted to classical Arab music, owing to the musical qualities displayed by its performers, and to the high standard of its work, steeped in the various musical traditions of the near and middle East. Under Julien Weiss leadership, its interprets the classical Arab repertoire setting the instruments into sharp relief, thus re-establishing a balance which very often exclusively favoured the sung melody. The Takht Sharqi (traditional oriental ensemble) is composed of a qanun (a table zither with pinched strings), an ud (oriental lute), a nay (reed flute) and a riqq (small tambourine with little cymbals).
