Marcel Khalife’s Legacy Tour Comes to Atlanta
Special Fundraising Concert Presented by Alif Institute
Atlanta, GA – April 11, 2025 – Alif Institute is proud to announce a special fundraising concert featuring the legendary Lebanese composer, singer and oud master, Marcel Khalife, as part of his Legacy Tour. The event will take place on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 8 PM at SCADshow, located at 1470 Spring St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309.
Marcel Khalife will be joined by his son, virtuoso pianist Rami Khalife, and his nephew, cellist Sary Khalife, in a program that underscores the family’s incredible musical legacy. Revered as a cultural icon in the Arab world and beyond, Marcel Khalife is known for his innovative approach to Arab music, blending traditional forms with Western elements to create an evocative sound that has captivated audiences worldwide.
The cross-generational Khalife trio will perform a selection of Marcel’s revered classics with new arrangements alongside original compositions. Sary Khalife masterfully incorporates the Arabic quarter tone on his cello, seamlessly weaving Arabic and Western sounds, while Rami’s pianistic skills combine his classical training from The Juilliard School with a “Keith-Jarrett-like approach to jazz and improvisation.”
All proceeds from the concert will support Alif Institute’s mission to foster the understanding, appreciation and preservation of Arab cultures.
