About Ehsan

Born in Baghdad and graduating from the famous Iraqi Institute of Music (Maqhad Al-Darsat Al-Musiqia) in 1986, Ehsan Emam has travelled a road rich in knowledge. Ehsan has studied under the great Oud maestros Salem Abdel Karim, Rawhi Khammash and Munir Bashir. By the end of his time at the institute, Ehsan had become the mentor to the new arrivals as well as those within close reach of the same stage at the institute.
  
   From the time of his arrival to London in 1997, Ehsan Emam has given many concerts across the UK including recitals at Cambridge, Edinburgh and Kingston Universities. However, Ehsan has never drifted too far from his desire to teach the beautiful music of his home country. He was made lecturer at London's SOAS University in the area of Music and Arabic Song theory and is actively holding private Oud tutorials.
