Oud virtuoso, Simon Shaheen, and his trio return to W&L this fall, having last played here in October 2015. One of the most important Arab musicians of his generation, Shaheen masterfully performs everything from traditional Arabic music to modern jazz on the oud, a type of short-necked lute that is a staple of the Arab music tradition, and the violin.
