Mohammad El Mougy, grandson of Egyptian composer Mohamed El Mougy, joins Maple Arts Group and musicians from the Canadian Arabic Orchestra for a concert devoted to Hafez and Arabic music’s golden era.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Abdel Halim Hafez’s songs are the focus of The Canadian Arabic Orchestra: The Nightingale, a Boston concert framed around the romance and nostalgia of Arabic music’s golden era. Its billing brings featured performer Mohammad El Mougy together with Maple Arts Group and musicians from the Canadian Arabic Orchestra.
The event identifies Hafez as the Nightingale of Arabic music and places his songs at the center of the performance. The golden-era framing gives the concert a specific musical focus rather than presenting it as a survey of Arabic music more broadly.

The event listing gives a ticket range of $75.50–$108.50 and directs buyers to Etix. Ticket fees may apply and are nonrefundable. Sales are final unless the performance is canceled or postponed. The listing does not confirm current availability or the final checkout total.
Berklee’s venue guidance says there are no steps from the sidewalk entrance at 136 Massachusetts Avenue to the orchestra level. Balcony seating is reached by stairs, and the building has no elevator or escalator. Accessible restrooms and a water fountain are in the first-floor lobby. These are venue-wide details; Berklee does not confirm which accessible seats are available for this performance.
The venue describes wheelchair-accessible locations in Orchestra Right rows A–B, with space for one wheelchair and three companions, and rows Q–R, with space for two wheelchairs and multiple companions. Although these seating areas are level, the floor leading to them is on a decline. Rear orchestra rows KK–LL on the left, right and center are level and have no decline. The areas use movable cushioned chairs, some with arms and some without.
A cross aisle is in front of orchestra row S. Berklee also identifies a limited number of center-orchestra seats with movable armrests in rows F, M, S, X, CC and HH. A limited number of Orchestra Right seats in rows A–B are identified for patrons with visual impairments or who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Accessible seats are held for patrons with disabilities until no two adjacent seats at that price level remain available for public sale. Berklee says some may then be released in stages, with seats held until the rest of the theater sells out. Each accessible-seat order is limited to one accessible seat and three companion seats; adjacent seats depend on availability. Accessible tickets can be purchased online, at the box office or by phone. They must be purchased rather than reserved; Berklee says these sales are final, nonrefundable, cannot be exchanged or replaced, and carry additional service charges.
Complimentary assistive-listening devices are available in all sections. They can be obtained at the box office, from the house manager or from an usher; a driver’s license, passport or major credit card is required as a deposit and returned when the device is returned. Sign-language interpretation can be requested through the box office at least three weeks before the event, subject to interpreter availability. Patrons needing accommodations may request admission before the general public. For event-specific seating or accommodation questions, contact Berklee’s box office at 617-747-2261 or [email protected].
Berklee directs riders to the Green Line’s Hynes Convention Center stop. Exit left onto Massachusetts Avenue and cross Boylston Street; the performance center is about 30 yards from the corner. Berklee also notes bus service along Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston Street and recommends checking the MBTA for routes and schedules.

Berklee’s accessibility guidance says placard holders may park at metered spaces without charge; its directions qualify that most, but not all, public meter fees are exempt and specifically note that Massport meters are not exempt.
