We had the opportunity to interview many audience members after our performances and the responses were amazing and often very touching. We were very interested in responses to our selection and execution of repertoire and what Egyptian audiences thought about a bunch of Americans coming to Egypt to perform Egyptian music, among other topics.
In this video the eloquent and gracious `Ala Bekri, from Cairo, gives her thoughts about cultural exchange and the UCSB Middle East Ensemble after one of our performances at the Cairo Opera House.
