Jam El Joy
An extraordinary music duo takes the stage: "Jam el Joy" blends traditional sounds with contemporary fusion.
The meeting of Orwa Saleh and Özlem Bulut on the multicultural stage led to a creative explosion. Their joint musical project, "Jam el Joy," combines the rich tones of the Oud with the lyrical power of vocals. Original compositions and electronic elements flow into their music, adding a refreshing, bold, and new oriental touch, with some psychedelic elements that further deepen the sound experience.
Ensemble
Assembled by the Syrian Oud player and composer Orwa Saleh, this project is an expression of the new Austrian culture as a home of hope and diversity.
Musicians from Syria, Iran, and Austria are greathearted to lead
a magical journey into the world of music, words, and poems.
The elegant female voice of Basma Jabr telling stories from Syria to Mahan Mirarab's Guitar, who evokes the Persian spirit to put it in the balance of Sebastian Simsa and the deep beautiful sound of Judith Ferstl's Bass, surrounded all by the magical Oud that turned this project into a choreographed dance of warm melodies and thoughts.

Music In Touch
It is the longtime collaboration between the Austrian pianist Christoph Cech and the Syrian Oud player Orwa Saleh that makes this friendship visible on stage. They combine the well-tempered instrument, the piano, with the Oud and all its quartertones containing Maqqams. The trio MIT – Music in Touch, is Christoph Cech and Orwa Saleh with the brilliant improviser Andreas Schreiber on the violin. Through their music they take the audience on an unforgettable journey.
