Karim Nagi is a true crossover artist uniting the Arab tradition with the global contemporary world as an Egyptian immigrant in the USA. He has released fourteen albums, ranging from traditional Arab music to fusion and electronica, and has authored instructional videos for Arab percussive instruments and Arab dance styles. As a dance and drum teacher, Nagi has taught in dozens of festivals in the United States, Asia, Europe and Cairo, as well as most major Arab Culture festivals in the USA. He is also a public speaker with a TEDx talk.

BarnArts Global Music Residency program brings international artists into local K-12 schools to lead workshops and perform each spring and fall, providing students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with a global musician. Each residency culminates in a public concert, and all students engaged with during the residency get a free ticket!

This program began in spring 2022 and stems from our belief in the power of positive intercultural connections as a means to build cultural literacy. We welcome local educators as well as international musicians interested in working with us on this unique program to contact us about future residencies.
