Featuring GRAMMY® award-winning, Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman in the premiere of a new song cycle by Karim Al-Zand.
Musiqa and Kinetic Ensemble partner to present the world premiere of Canadian-American composer Karim Al-Zand ’s The Strangers’ Case . The GRAMMY® award-winning, Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman joins the ensemble for this song cycle for tenor and string orchestra that gathers poems and other turn-of-the-century accounts by immigrants to the United States and, in so doing, reminds us of our shared history, fraught as it is with contradiction, filled with both selfless generosity and selfish indifference.Read more

WHY PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN?
Musiqa believes in making our work available to everyone, regardless of how much they can afford to pay. We suggest a $35 ticket price if you aren’t sure what choice to make. But here’s a little more about the other possibilities:
- MORE THAN $35? If our whole audience paid the suggested rate, it still wouldn’t offset the cost of paying artists, composers and designers to make this production happen. But if you pay more, you’ll help us pay those people PLUS make it possible for a student, artist or any other audience members with less financial means to see the show too.
- LESS THAN $35? We want you to come to our shows, whether you can afford the suggested rate or not. Just choose one of the lower options that best fits your budget. The lowest available online ticket is $6 ($1 + $5 fee). Anyone wishing to purchase a ticket for $0 to $ can do so at the box office.
