MAGIC CARPET SESSIONS | Adventurous, intimate & crossing borders with music from around the world! ★
The Almaghoot Quintet is a boundary defying ensemble rooted in storytelling and
shaped by the richness of diverse cultures. Founded by Syrian clarinetist and
composer Ghaeth Almaghoot, the quintet embodies authenticity in their cross
cultural musical dialogue.
Their debut project, Levantine Hues, is a deeply personal album that brings to life
stories of longing and connection. Each composition is inspired by real life
interviews or from Almaghoot’s own memories, turning lived experience into
lyrical, microtonal soundscapes. In an ambitious artistic leap, Almaghoot writes
Arabic microtonal music for the bass clarinet, an unprecedented and pioneering
effort that fuses ancient musical traditions with modern sensibilities.
The quintet is made up of Ghaeth Almaghoot (SYR) on clarinets and duduk, Yanna
Pelser (NL) on Viola, Ties Semey (DNK) on guitar, Johannes Fend (AUT) on double
bass and Jacobus Thiele (DE) on percussion.
Together, the Almaghoot Quintet crafts a musical world where Arabic Middle
Eastern melodies and jazz harmonies intertwine. Through evocative, genre defying
compositions, they invite audiences into a vibrant experience that speaks to the
soul of human existence.
