Free Sunset Concerts at the Skirball (Event Over)

Close the Skirball Cultural Center's 2009 Sunset Concerts season with a performance by celebrated Middle Eastern artist Omar Faruk Tekbilek.

Esteemed as a peacemaker and master player of various Middle Eastern reed instruments, lutes, and percussion, Omar Faruk Tekbilek is one of the most sought-after Turkish/Middle Eastern musicians living in the United States. Worldwide touring and an openness to music from all cultures position him as a rare artist who transcends political obstacles while maintaining traditional sensibilities.
