An evening between oriental depth and chamber music tension

When on 2026-07-09 at 20:00 in the Evangelical Reconciliation Church Bonn-Beuel the first sounds of Oud and Djoze are heard, centuries-old sound culture meets an intimate live atmosphere. The Duo Melodic consists of Saad Mahmood Jawad and Bassem Hawar, who have been making music together since 2002, bringing their oriental instruments into a modern concert context.

Between Maqam, folk song, and the present

The program draws from southern Iraqi folk songs, classical Maqam, as well as Persian and Turkish sounds. It is precisely from this that the special tension of this concert experience arises: finely drawn melodic lines, virtuosic ornamentation, and a sound that allows tradition to appear lively and contemporary rather than museum-like.

Virtuosity with great narrative power

Saad Mahmood Jawad was awarded the title of best Oud player and knight of the Iraqi Oud by the Iraqi Ministry of Culture in 2001. Bassem Hawar, who studied Djoze and music in Baghdad and received the WDR Jazz Prize in the category of Musical Cultures in 2020, has technically advanced his instrument and opened up new sonic spaces. This expertise is clearly audible in every phrase of the duo's stage performance. ([bassemhawar.com](https://bassemhawar.com/Projekte/Duo-Melodic/))

A space that carries the sounds

The Reconciliation Church in Beuel-Mitte is located at Neustraße 2 in 53225 Bonn and is considered a fitting place for concentrated, acoustically close concerts. The ecclesiastical environment enhances the tranquility present in the interplay of Oud and Djoze, allowing even subtle dynamic gradations to stand out clearly.
