Weathervane Community Arts and Labyrinth New England present The Art of Makam, a concert of music both from and inspired by the classical Turkish tradition by acclaimed Boston-based musician Tev Stevig. Stevig will perform on a variety of instruments, including oud and tanbur, providing description and explanation along the way. He will be joined by a local ensemble of his students, who have been studying together throughout the Fall. Local klezmer band Myrtle St. Klezmer will also play.

The concert will be held on the evening of Wednesday December 11 from 7:30-9:30pm, at Montague Common Hall, 34…
