Call to Artists: Musicians

Alia Thabit, a VT Juried Artist <http://earth-goddess.com>, is looking for
musicians interested in playing traditional and avant garde Middle Eastern
dance music, with the object of doing a few paid shows by the end of the
year, and the potential to continue working together after these events.
Rehearsals would be in the upper right quadrant of VT (STJ, WRJ, &/or
Montpelier areas).

Interest in and/or experience with Middle Eastern music is preferred,
ability to improvise is essential, and a fun, laid-back attitude is
encouraged. Western instruments are fine, as long as you can bend notes to
get microtones (this where the "blue note" comes from).
Professional-quality musicians only, please.

Musicians wishing to dip a toe into this possibility are invited to attend
the upcoming Arabic Music Master classes in St. Johnsbury VT on 9/20-21.
More information is here: http://www.earth-goddess.com/specialevents.html.
*Scholarships are available.*

For more information, please contact Alia Thabit at 802 324 0564, or email
alia at earth-goddess.com.

Thanks!
Alia
