Music that moves you

Make your way to the Lincoln City Cultural Center for an evening of transcendent global music this Sunday, Aug. 24.

“Migrant Voices” is a musical collaboration by acclaimed musicians Itamar Erez and Hamin Honari that weaves together stories of migration, exile and hope through a stunning fusion of Middle Eastern, Persian and Mediterranean musical traditions. With virtuosic interplay between Erez’s classical guitar and piano and Honari’s masterful hand percussion, the duo creates a soundscape that is both contemplative and explosive — bridging continents and cultures with grace and intensity.

“Migrant Voices is an extraordinary expression of shared human experience — timely, moving, and deeply beautiful,” said Media Director Bea Herzberg. “This concert will be a true gift to our community.”

Erez is an Israeli-Canadian composer, guitarist and pianist known for blending classical, jazz and Middle Eastern influences. His work has earned international acclaim and has taken him to festivals and concert halls around the globe.

Honari, originally from Iran and now based in Canada, is a celebrated hand percussionist and a longtime member of the Juno-nominated group Constantinople. His mastery of Persian rhythm and deep musical sensitivity make him a sought-after collaborator in the world music scene.  Together, the Migrant Voices project has captivated audiences with its emotional depth, technical brilliance and cross-cultural resonance. 

Sunday’s show begins at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For more information, go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org or call 541-994-9994.
