A traditional Tunisian horse dance…what a surprise! We got to be part of a real Caravan down to the reservoir with horses and drums and the entire village and then we were treated to this performance. We had no idea that Beni M’tir Tunisia had an annual festival or that it would start tomorrow, but this whole place is just full of surprises all the time!

A rehearsal for our project “Musical Koshary” at El Cabina, Alexandria. I’ve really enjoyed working with and getting to know these guys. They are wonderful hosts and their endurance for playing music all day then staying out all night far outpaces my own.

I'm a flutist on a mission. I believe that music is for everyone. I believe that music can save the world. I'm going to Egypt and Tunisia this summer to play and teach. This is my story of that journey. (Oh, and also, I need your help to get there!)
