Palestine Aloud@Cadogan Hall, London, 22 October 2008
8/10/2008
LEGENDARY British artists and Palestinian performers will come together in a celebration of the culture behind the catastrophe in Palestine aloud: a cultural celebration.
The event, which has been organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, will present the capital’s flagship Choir of London, musician John Williams and actors Corin Redgrave, Juliet Stevenson and Miriam Margolyes.
Performing alongside will be Reem Kelani, Marwan Abado and Hanan al Sheik with the evening directed by Poppy Burton-Morgan.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the nakba (catastrophe), when thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in the wake of the newly-formed Israeli state in 1948.
Organisers say the Palestinian Aloud is dedicated to those who lost their homes and the event will simply be a cultural celebration with no speeches and no rallying, for one night, the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign will take a night off from political advocacy to instead provide a powerful testament to a culture whose riches are too often hidden behind the demands of desperate political struggle.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign works in the UK to advocate justice for the Palestinian people, for their civil, political and human rights in accordance with international law, and for an end to the state of apartheid under Israeli occupation. The organisation’s patrons include Tony Benn , Caryl Churchill, Baroness Jenny Tonge, Harold Pinter and Benjamin Zephania.
Palestine aloud: a cultural celebration will take place at Cadogan Hall, 5 Sloane Terrace, London, SW1X 9DQ on Wednesday 22 October 2008 at 7.30pm.
Tickets starts at £20 to £40. For more information ring 020 7730 5400 or visitwww.cadoganhall.com.
