We host a free ongoing series called "Listening at the Well" where we invite people to sit together to listen to music, highlighting the important works by a specific artist each month.
For our November installment of Listening at The Well, we will explore the music of the great Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
He was primarily a singer of qawwali — a form of Sufi devotional music, and is widely considered to be the greatest qawwali singer of his generation.
Through this series we will explore a wide range of genres, with the hope of deepening our appreciation of music within a communal experience.
So often we only listen to music in isolation, either on earbuds or in our cars alone. But music has a profound power to bring people together, and by gathering intentionally to listen, we hope to bring back some of the lost spirit of music as a force of social connection.
There will be room to dance, sit, or lay down, and a quality sound system to listen on. In some cases we will play music videos and clips of interviews with the artist.
This is a free event, but we gratefully accept donations to support the space.
