Led by clarinet virtuoso and member of the Canadian Arabic Orchestra Majd Sekkar, this newly created project combines sounds of Middle East with jazz fusion and electronica.
Majd has performed with renowned artists on stages across Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Algeria and completed Humber College’s jazz performance program.
Soon after moving to Canada in 2016, he began to work with a variety of local and international musicians and composers and perform across the country. He has given master classes on Arabic music theory and incorporating clarinet in Middle Eastern music at the University of Toronto and York University, and, in addition to his own quartet that mixes, and transcends, jazz, Middle-Eastern, and other music, plays in a number of Toronto’s favourite bands including Fethi Nadjem Ensemble, Moneka Arabic Jazz, and Moskitto Bar.
