Welcome to Tafahum

The birth of Tafahum came from a chance meeting between British Conductor and Composer Benjamin Ellin and Syrian born Ney Soloist Louai Alhenawi. An invitation from Benjamin to Louai for initial Middle Eastern music workshops at Pembroke Academy of Music in Walworth, London has developed into an expansive collaborative artistic vision.

Tafahum mirrors the desire of both Louai and Benjamin to learn about each other’s musical traditions, backgrounds and heritage to create imaginative, bold and exciting projects that unite under the auspices of art and people.

Join us here at Tafahum, where the excitement of discovery and knowledge can drive creativity.
