In April 2025, Gazelleband travelled to Beirut as oud player Reem Anbar led a series of workshops with children in the Palestinian refugee camps of Mar Elias and Borj al-Barajneh. Watch this space for more reports and photos.

Earlier in the month, our buzuq player and music researcher Louis Brehony appeared at the Noir centre for a special concert of Muhammad Abdel Karim material.

Concluding a year of musical activity in the Middle East, Gazelleband will be back in Europe in summer for a programme of festivals, concerts, workshops and solidarity events. As always, for bookings, drop us an email with details: gazellebandmusic@gmail.com.
