Global Thursdays - Riad Abdel-Gawad October 7, 2010

Internationally acclaimed composer/violinist Riad Abdel-Gawad embraces a style of Arabic music developed by Abdo Dagher, accompanist to legendary Egyptian vocalist Umm Kulthum. He has earned acclaim from his peers for his acumen in this distinct and unusual style.

Global Thursdays at the Arab American National Museum is a multicultural performance series showcasing the finest in world music, dance, film and performance art. A wide variety of local, national and international acts truly allow you to "see and hear the world, here" at the AANM.

Online ticket sales end at 5 p.m. the day prior to the show. Advance-sale tickets are only available online with debit or credit card and are held for pickup at the ticket table on the night of the performance.

Free, ample, lighted parking is available in the municipal lot behind the Museum, which is accessed by turning north from Michigan Avenue onto Neckel Street.
