Join the Museum for Art in Wood for a free First Friday Concert with Philadelphia-based world ensemble Jaffna! Jaffna combines the instrumentation and influences from the Middle East, India, and anywhere else that inspires them. With roots in the early-1990s, the group maintains its distinct style with original compositions and improvisations which stretch the boundaries of their respective cultures. Come and experience being transported around the world!
Jaffna will perform in the Museum’s main gallery, which currently features a multi-disciplinary exhibition, The Mashrabiya Project: Seeing Through Space. The exhibition presents newly commissioned works by six artists from across the Islamic world interpreting the latticework screens that appear prominently in traditional Islamic architecture.
