Brooklyn MaqaM Community
One of our main goals at Brooklyn Maqam Hang is to foster a community of musicians and listeners. We feel very lucky to have such a warm group of talented musicians and enthusiastic music lovers among us.
We have a monthly jam session at Sisters, which is a great way to get involved and meet people. It is usually the third Tuesday of the month, after the featured performance—check the calendar for details as it is subject to change. We've compiled a list of popular repertoire for the jam sessions here:
Instrumental standards (Beginners start here)

Note that we offer scholarship opportunities for those who need help covering registration costs.
