Middle Eastern music will fill the Oasis of Music, located at Trinity Church, 247 Bates Street in Lewiston, on Wednesday October 12, beginning at 12:30.

The Seyir Duo, Nathan Kolosko and Eric Perna, come together to perform music that spans from the mystic world of the Sufis to the classical music of ancient Persia.

Both Eric and Nathan are multi-instrumentalists, allowing the duo to explore an extensive array of timbres and traditions. Whether it is Egyptian dance music or Armenian folk songs, the duo always strives for an authentic and sensitive approach to the repertoire they perform.

The Oasis of Music is a weekly music series of performances of roughly thirty minutes, running from September to May. Admission is free, with donations accepted. The musical genres vary greatly, in largely, but not exclusively, acoustic formats. COVID restrictions of optional mask-wearing and social distancing are observed.
