The Malek Jandali Trio returns to Carnegie Hall to celebrate the release of the new album, The Jasmine Tree, which features Jandali's original works for piano, cello, and oud. The music is inspired by the works of great poets from around the world such as Rūmī, Sarojini Naidu, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Natasha Trethewey, integrating the authentic sounds of Arabic maqamat and the ancient music of Syria and the Levant. This concert is part of the Pianos for Peace series, which aims to build peace through music and education, and the evening includes the presentation of the 2017 Malek Jandali International Youth Piano Competition awards.
