Our Patron

Maestro Naseer Shamma

Director

Under the patronage of Maestro Naseer Shamma

Born in Al-Kut, Iraq (1963) and a graduate of Baghdad's Institute of Musical Studies (1987), Naseer Shamma is one of the most influential oud virtuosos of our time. He reconstructed the eight-string oud from a millennium-old diagram by the philosopher Al-Farabi, founded Beit Al-Oud Al-Arabi in Cairo (1999) with branches in Abu Dhabi, Alexandria, Baghdad and Khartoum, and has carried the voice of Iraq to stages from Paris to Athens. His lifelong commitment to the children of war and to dialogue through music is woven into the spirit of our mission.
