Mediterranean Day event: Round-table discussion and concert by Basma-Orwa- Atanasovski

Invitation to mark the Mediterranean Day, on 28 November 2022, at Cankarjev dom.
At 18:30 a round-table discussion will be held on the importance of intercultural dialogue in the Mediterranean and the binding power of art, moderated by journalist Kristina Božič.

Panellists:
Ambassador Mateja Prevolšek, Head of Department for Africa and the Middle East at Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Jerneja PENCA, PhD, Associate Professor and Head of Academic Affairs at the Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI),
Ervin Hladnik Milharčič, journalist,
Orwa Saleh, Syrian musician.

The multicultural trio of virtuoso musicians Basma-Orwa-Atanasovski will begin their concert at 20:00.

The exceptional Syrian musicians based in Vienna, Basma Jabr and Orwa Saleh transform the charismatic ancient Arabic tunes into a perfect harmony and a sensual musical journey, on which they will be joined by the Slovenian musician Vasko Atanasovski on saxophone/flute.
The musical mysticism will take you beyond the boundaries of what is possible, where only music can take you, on a journey to the old cities where the West meets the East.
