Ashraf Hakim astounds audiences with his broad musical range and soulful
sounds from ancient Arabic quarter tone variations, sweeping orchestral
concertos, world fusion and jazz improvisations that transcend the soul
bridging peace from East to West. Ashraf is a featured soloist who performed
in over 40 countries on six continents all over the world. He is Egypt's
national treasure who is becoming a US citizen for freedom to channel his
music into the world. He currently resides in Seattle, Washington.
"I've met people from diverse cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds and am struck by how similar we are. We are all one family under God. I came to America to share my message of peace and reconciliation between the East and the West through my music. Whether I play as a guest artist with symphonic orchestras or as a soloist at concerts in the park, my message of peace and soulful interpretation of classical, jazz, Arabic, pop, contemporary and ballads is my gift to humanity."
Peace and Love,
Ashraf
