"What better way to relax, than a combination of some good music, a romance novel and a glass of wine - heaven on earth."
I attended a concert by Simon Shaheen on Friday. That was my first experience of listening to Middle Eastern sounds and tunes. Some of the tones had a similarity to Indian music, which is not surprising because of the cultural closeness between the two regions. I loved the style of the quintet. They played two pieces which followed a similar pattern. The five instruments together set a beat which continued to the end, and each instrument took turns to play solo. The result was a soothing effect on the ears. Especially, the violin was played beautifully, as though it were speaking to me. Thanks to UCSD, I had a good relaxation after a stressful week.
