Society is undergoing a transformation in which cultures are merging. Ajam Quartet is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Four musicians from four different countries: Syria, Germany, Russia and Israel have formed their ensemble according to the motto "our differences are our strength". Arabic oud, classical violin, funky bass and percussion form the sound of the ensemble, and jazzed-up versions of Middle Eastern and European classics as well as expressive original compositions are part of their repertoire. Ajam Quartet spreads the idea that regardless of origin, people can always find a common language and create a better future. The quartet consists of: Wassim Mukdad (oud), Alexey Kochetkov (violin), Or Rozenfeld (double bass) and Peter Kuhnsch (percussion).
