A virtuoso oud performer and composer, Joseph has a passion for the oud, improvisation, and musical storytelling.<\/p>\n
His workshops often explore the maqam system (modal scales), technical skills, and blending traditional Arabic music with jazz and classical influences.
\nHe specialises in;
\n– Oud Instruction: Introducing the oud’s technique, exploring its role in both traditional and contemporary music.
\n– Musical Style: Workshops often focus on integrating Arabic maqam (musical modes and quarter tones) with jazz, classical, and world music influences.
\n– Improvisation & Rhythm: Tawadros focuses on rhythmic improvisation, often showcasing complex techniques over odd rhythms.
\n– Genre Fluidity: focus on bringing the oud into modern contexts, blending traditional Arabic music with jazz and classical styles.
\n– Inspiration: He aims to inspire musicians, to look beyond standardised approaches and explore the instrument’s emotive power and versatility.<\/p>\n
Open to musicians (and non-musicians) interested in Middle Eastern music, maqam, and world music improvisation.<\/p>\n
Joseph will take questions from the audience too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
