Ensemble Zephyr al Andalous
Rachid Ben Abdeslam musical direction, counter-tenor, percussion; Joshua Levitte ney Nabil Khalidi oud; Fatema Chahid, narration
Interpreting the role of Nireno in last season’s production of Julius Caesar, Rachid Ben Abdeslam is equally at ease unveiling the secrets of princely alcoves. With his subtle counter-tenor’s voice, he invites us to savour the sensuality of Arab-Andalusian poetry from the 11th century.
