SOAS Concert Series Presents:
KHYAM ALLAMI
DEBUT ALBUM LAUNCH
SOAS will draw on its musical treasures: Khyam Allami is a young and active London based musician of Iraqi descent. His passion for music has lead him on a journey from child violinist in Damascus via rock drummer in London to two SOAS Music degrees and on.
In 2010 Khyam was the first recipient of the BBC Radio 3 World Routes Academy mentorship programme which saw him perform at WOMAD and the BBC Proms last summer.
Currently Khyam is working on his own compositions, teaching oud at SOAS, and has just completed his debut solo album to be presented at this much anticipated SOAS concert. For this performance Khyam will be joined by Vasilis Sarikis and will perform his debut album, Resonance/Dissonance, in its entirety.
