Ars Nova Workshop
Amir ElSaffar & The Two Rivers
Ensemble will perform Friday,
Febru-
ary 18,
at 8 p.m. at the Philadel-
phia Art Alliance, 251 S. 18th Street.
Iraqi-American multi-instrumen-talist/composer ElSaffar is on theforefront of musicians incorporat-ing the traditional musical stylesof their cultural backgrounds with
modern sensibilities. His Two Rivers
Ensemble’s developed an instinc-tive ease with this highly complex
music, enabling the band to play with
a creativity that transcends pure
technical challenge. While Two Rivers
(2007) combined elements found
in the modal music of the Iraqi maqam
with the rhythms and aesthetics of
modern jazz, Inana (2011) builds on
those concepts to include a micro-tonal harmonic and melodic lan-guage influenced by the pitch-flex-
ibility of Middle Eastern music. The
consequence is a transformation
of the jazz idiom, though the music
still speaks the language of swing,improvisation and group interac-
tion. Cost is $15. Visit http://www.ars
-novaworkshop.com/events for info.
