Created by composer Sahba Aminikia and Verdigris Ensemble’s Artistic Director Sam Brukhman, SHAMS is a profound exploration of cultural and spiritual identity. Set against the backdrop of Dallas’s vibrant Middle Eastern and North African communities, this concert highlights the city’s evolving cultural landscape and invites audiences to engage with themes of transformation, empathy, and connection. SHAMS is more than a performance—it’s a call to reflect, engage, and transcend.
