Join us for a concert featuring traditional and original Middle Eastern songs from Salaam.
Join us for a concert featuring Salaam. Since its founding in 1993, Salaam has been delighting audiences for years with its unique blend of traditional and original Middle Eastern music. Exquisitely rendered melodies are woven with stories and musings, taking the listener on a musical journey. Their sound, while deeply rooted in maqam and entrancing Middle Eastern rhythms, is infused with the band's fresh and innovative interpretations. They have performed throughout the US, recorded eight albums, and have been interviewed and featured on NPR's All Things Considered. Salaam, whose name means Peace, is a musical ambassador for peaceful coexistence.

The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
