Hewar Live at The Sunflower Theatre

As part of the Miniatures festival, the Sunflower Theatre will be hosting a live performance by the band Hewar. The Syrian band Hewar (Dialogue in Arabic) is a musical workshop that attempts to transcend the barriers of musical disparities and misconceptions.

This is achieved through a unique musical exchange between different musical personalities (using each individual instrument as the only means of this musical communication), reflecting an approach that is as musically-based as much as it has social and political references and subtexts.

Hewar was founded in 2003 and has toured the US , Germany, France, England, Japan, Lebanon and Egypt, as well as its native Syria. The band has released three albums to date Hewar in 2005, 9 days of Solitude in 2007, and Letters to a Homeland in 2012.

Bringing together a diverse musical palate and influences, and drawing from an array of musical traditions—namely Arabic, Jazz, Scat, Opera and Classical music; is what makes it a truly unique venture. The band, building on the acclaimed individual talents of each of its members, juxtaposes and meshes these musical styles to create a truly one-of-a-kind genre-breaking music.
