Watar Music Ensemble

Arabic songs and shared cultural traditions connect the members of Watar Music Ensemble. The Melbourne group presents older and newer pieces, using the repertoire to tell stories and bring people together through music. Songs include Ahwak and Ya Msafer Wahdak, with further material considered around an event's requirements. The ensemble's approach favours a relaxed listening setting, where the songs and their emotional meaning can remain at the centre of the performance.
