Chicago, USA - Marcel Khalife will be performing in Chicago this Sunday, November 14th, at 7 pm, to support the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) and Palestine Humanitarian Aid Project (PHAP). It will take place at The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance, 205 E. Randolph Drive, in Chicago's Millennium Park.

Proceeds from this concert will go directly towards the purchase of three mobile medical units to aid the severely underserved Palestinians in the West Bank, as well as to support AAAN's community-based social services, organizing, advocacy, youth, and arts and cultural programs.

Mr. Khalife is considered one of the greatest composers and masters of the ud, the fretless Arabic lute. Beyond the disciplined instrumental work, Khalife is most loved for his haunting and inspiring settings of Arab poetry, including that of Khalil Gibran and Mahmoud Darwish.
