The Joyfull: Fanoos Ensemble Edition
Food is much more than what sits on our plates. Food intersects with nearly every aspect of our lives—from the communities and cultures we come from to issues of climate, food security, and our personal relationships with food.
Just like food, art comes from many forms, cultural backgrounds, and histories. At each Joyfull, we welcome all to come and enjoy a meal, live performance, and conversation.
When our bodies are hungry, we need to eat. But when our souls are hungry, we crave a different kind of nourishment. Join us for evenings of joyful expression, where we forge connections and leave with full bellies and full hearts. Feed your soul; savor the culture.
The menu will be catered by Kabul Plate. The program will feature a presentation about Nowruz by Storai Jalali at 6:45 p.m., and a short performance by Fanoos Ensemble at 7:30 p.m.
Free sustainable utensil sets will be given to first-time attendees while supplies last. Help us reduce waste by bringing them with you to use at each Joyfull.
The event is free but registration is required at https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=RY30fNs9iUOpwcEVUm61LrFwI7OzG51JvLp6-5W0w0lUMkVUU0UxQTA0TFVLRk5aMVhSSFJYRzMyVSQlQCN0PWcu&route=shorturl
Fanoos Ensemble, formerly known as Heart of Afghanistan, features four musicians from the world-renowned Fanoos family unable to perform inside their home country, where the Taliban has banned all music.
The ensemble features renowned Afghan vocalist Ahmad Fanoos and his two sons, Elham on piano and Mehran on violin, and family friend Sohail Karimi on tabla, now all living in the United States.
