CROSS-CULTURAL CONCERT
We are delighted to welcome the aspiring Austrian singer/songwriter Liz Metta for a concert at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Cairo. As part of her musical journey in Egypt, Liz Metta will compose a song together with the Egyptian musician BalQeis. Connected by the art of looping, the two artists will merge their different musical backgrounds, ranging from western dream pop to indie soul and electro-oriental oud music, to create a song especially for this occasion. Join us for a unique opportunity to hear and see the result of Liz Metta and BalQeis’ joint creative process in an intimate living room atmosphere at the Cultural Forum!
