At 6:00 PM, Thursday, April 3, the AAEF-CAS will proudly
host this year's annual Paul Kardoush Memorial Endowed
Lecture at the UH Student Center Theater, titled "Neighbor
of the Moon: Fayruz as a National Arab Icon."
Ethnomusicologist Dr. Loab Hammoud will deliver a lecture on
the significance of Fayruz's music and give a live musical
performance alongside singer Liliane Kheirbek.
Loab Hammoud is an ethnomusicologist and a Humboldt
postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Music
Research at the University of Würzburg Germany, where he
researches identity formation in musical performances and
the role of music in the lives of Syrian musicians, as they
adapt and reconstruct their homes in Germany. Previously, he
was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology
at the University of Haifa. He plays and teaches the oud, as
well as Arab music theory. His previous research focused on
the culture of the Egyptian dawr (as composed by Zakaria
Ahmed), the history of Palestinian Arab art music, as well
as Arab music education and performance among Israeli Jews.
Liliane Kheirbek, a Soprano and pharmacist at Houston
Methodist Hospital, was born in France and raised in Syria.
She was trained in Damascus, Lyon, and Brussels,
specializing in Opera and Middle Eastern music. She has
performed with the Syrian National Symphony, National Arab
Orchestra, and in major Houston and Detroit theatres,
including the Hobby Center, Music Hall Center of the
Performing Arts and the George Theater. She is passionate
about bridging cultures through music.
