Nai Barghouti and Quartet with the RSNO

Following her sold-out concert in Glasgow last year, award-winning singer, composer and flautist Nai Barghouti returns for another magical evening with the RSNO.Along with her Amsterdam-based quartet, the Palestinian artist has performed all over the world since the launch of her singing career aged just 14.During her studies, Nai Barghouti has explored the relationship between Arabic Tarab music and Jazz, and developed NaiStrumentation - دَندَناي, a layered ornamental technique for using the voice as a musical instrument.

She has been praised as a 'classical diva' and an 'exceptional virtuousa', renowned for her stunning rearrangements of iconic pieces as well as original work rooted in Arabic maqams, jazz and classical western music.This concert is organised by the RSNO in partnership with Scottish Refugee Council, MARSM UK and Glasgow MELA.

Presented as part of Refugee Festival Scotland 2026.
