The W&M Ewell Concert Series and Dewey Decibel Concert Series presents the Fanoos Family Ensemble.

The Fanoos Family Ensemble was re-established in freedom in 2022, following its members’ flight to freedom in the US from Taliban threats. Composed of members of the renowned musical family and joined by special musical guests, the group performs songs in the Afghan classical style, at the crossroads of Persian poetry, Hindustani rhythms, and Central Asian harmonies. They perform on traditional Afghan and classical Western instruments, and their Afghan source material is fused with contemporary sounds and enriched with original improvisations. The group reunited in the U.S. in December 2021 after five years apart, and made their U.S. debut in the spring of 2022.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.  Free and open to all ages of the public.  No ticket required. Part of the 2023 Ampersand International Arts Festival.
