On the 13th of December, Tarab Ensemble is bringing to Adelaide its unique blend of several styles of the music of the Arab world, poetry recitals, calligraphy and storytelling. Unveiling the treasures of the music of the Arab world, "In the Presence of Absence" is a 2-hr concert (with an interval of a fundraiser auction) of a variety of Arabic music styles as an artistic response to tumultuous times.
