Event Description

 We will be marking our coalition’s 10th Annual National Organizers' Conference with a special benefit concert with world renowned violinist and oud player, Simon Shaheen, Saturday, September 17 at 8:30pm at All Souls Church in Washington, DC!

A Palestinian, born in the village of Tarshiha in the Galilee, Shaheen began playing the oud at the age of five, and a year later began studying violin at the Conservatory for Western Classical Music in Haifa.

His soaring technique and melodic ingenuity fuse together traditional Arabic music, jazz, and Western classical styles.

All proceeds from this benefit concert directly support the work of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.
