Join Meem Collective for a sneak peek concert presentation of Mornings in Jenin Musical, an original musical in development, created by Amal Bisharat with music written in collaboration with Bahar Royaee, and adapted from the internationally bestselling novel by susan abulhawa.

With a stellar cast of singers and a dynamic six-member fusion ensemble featuring oud, bass, guitar, synthesizer, electronics, drums and Arabic percussion, the musical blends contemporary alt-pop with traditional Arabic instrumentation, creating a surreal atmospheric realism that immerses audiences into a space of empathy, reflection, and cross-cultural understanding.

This one-night concert offers audiences a special opportunity to experience the music of this developing new musical while supporting its journey toward a full production. Immediately following the concert, we will have a toast and reception where the audience can meet the artists and learn more about how to support the project. This concert is funded by San Francisco Arts Commission, with special thanks to A.C.T. and Golden Thread Productions.

Featuring: Sophia Alawi • Dea Julien • Sleiman Alahmadieh • Amal Bisharat • Paul Westwater • Bahar Royaee • Nick Waters • Stefanos Athinaios
