The group combines the Middle Eastern music of their homeland with the beat and style of contemporary jazz. <\/p>\n<p> Musicians of Dialogue\/Hewar include Kinan Azmeh, clarinet; Issam Rafea, oud (an instrument in the lute family); Dima Orsho, vocals; Omar al Musfi, percussion; and David Phillips, double bass. <\/p>\n<p> Dialogue has developed an enthusiastic following through their performances across the Middle East and in Europe. The Daily Star of Beirut, Lebanon, said of their performance that Dialogue was &quot;lovingly received by the audience,&quot; incorporating &quot;a blend of Western and Oriental traditions.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> This Concert for Peace tour is a follow-up to a similar tour last year during which Dialogue performed at seven churches in the U.S. The group has been invited to a return engagement at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., where they performed last year. Dialogue will also perform in Lancaster, Pa.; New York City; Dearborn, Mich.; South Bend\/Elkhart\/Goshen area of Indiana; Elgin, Ill.; and Rockford, Ill. <\/p>\n<p> Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and children age 5-12 and are available by calling the 糖心Vlog box office, 540-432-4582.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musicians of Dialogue\/Hewar &quot;Dialogue\/Hewar,&quot;
