Crossing borders and cultures, war and hatred, musicians Yair Dalal, Naser Musa and Ty Burhoe bring together a Middle Eastern musical tradition that reaches from the Balkans to India. “This is really de-politicizing the issues and showing that music and art transcend political division,” says Georgina Kolber, media contact at the Mizel Museum. “It’s really a subtle, organic way of saying that you take away this political mess and you have people who appreciate art and life and peace.”
Light From the Desert starts tonight at 8 p.m. at Old Main Chapel on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus; it replays tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. at the University of Denver’s Newman Center for the Performing Arts, 2344 East Iliff Avenue. Tickets are $20 to $28. For more information, call 303-394-9993, ext. 104 (Old Main), or 303-830-8497 (Newman Center).
