 anon and Yemen. Join us for a mesmerizing concert featuring the Arab Amer
 ican Choir alongside our artist-in-residence\, Syrian opera singer Lubana
  Al-Quntar. Following the concert\, there will be a community iftar.\n\nAb
 out the Artist\n\nLubana Al-Quntar comes from a Syrian family that is de
 eply rooted in classical Arabic music. She is related to singer/actress Am
 al Al Atrash (known by her stage name\, Asmahan) and her brother\, renowne
 d composer and singer Farid Al Atrash. These connections influenced her mu
 sical path and played an important role in her decision to seek a career a
 s a professional singer. Born in Syria\, she began singing at an early age
  and had an unusual gift for singing challenging sung poetry from childhoo
 d. Today Lubana performs a wide a range of repertoire within the Arab musi
 c canon which include music from the classical\, contemporary\, folk\, and
  pop genres. Her expressive voice allows her to add luster and richness to
  the various singing styles.  In addition to traditional Arab song\, Luba
 na studied opera and became the first Syrian opera singer to attain intern
 ational recognition\, as she appeared in concerts throughout Europe.  She
  returned to Syria to head the Department of Opera Singing and launched th
 e Department of Classical Arabic Singing at the Syrian National Conservato
 ry. This was a ground-breaking event because\, for the first time\, studen
 ts could study both operatic and traditional singing at an accredited inst
 itution. She established the Arabic Music Singing Ensemble that performed 
 across the Middle East. She came to the United States in 2012 and has sinc
 e performed in numerous venues across the country in addition to her Europ
 ean performances.\n\nFor questions\, e-mail Fatima Al-Rasool at fal-rasoo
