Arab Christmas by Candlelight
Join us for Christmas in the Arab world with a candlelit evening of Arabic, Syriac, Coptic and Byzantine chants
After a sold out evening, we are delighted to see the return of Arab Christmas at Grand Junction!
Join us for a rare opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Christmas in the Arab world as the Grand Junction gently lit by candles. You will hear Arabic, Syriac, Coptic, and Byzantine chants, harking back to the time of Queen Zanubia’s Palmyra in the second century CE.
Line-up includes Najib Coutya, Egyptian multi-instrumentalist Mina Salama, Egyptian singer-songwriter Hayat Selim, British-Palestinian writer Selma Dabbagh, Irish-Palestinian writer Hannah Khalil, Egyptian Oud player Tarek Elazhary, Yara Sharif, and Melkite Greek Catholic priest Rev Dr Abouzayd.
*************
As part of this year’s Arab Christmas, we are profiling and raising funds for the charity The Hanoon Foundation, who are dedicated to advancing medical education in Palestine. We invite you to donate ahead of the event by clicking here. We will also be collecting money for Hanoon Foundation on the night.
