The
Spirit of Fès is the international component of the celebrated Fès
Festival of World Sacred Music and its companion Fès Forum. Its mission
is to broaden the dialogue begun in Fès about ways in which art, culture
and spirituality can offer a humane response to pressing global issues.
The Tour will travel to 15 cities in 7 states from October 7 - 29 to
connect to American communities and audiences.
Renowned artists from the Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim
traditions collaborate together to honor the human spirit with their
unique cultural traditions. Performers include the Daqqa Roudania of
Taroudant from Morocco, Aruna Sairam from India, Moroccan – American
Jewish vocalist Gerard Edery, Lebanese - American percussionist Jamey
Haddad, New Yorker Susan Hellauer and Palestinian - American multi-
