Founded by Egyptian violinist Basma Edrees in 2023, Music in-Takht is an instrumental ensemble dedicated to sharing and preserving Egyptian musical heritage within the San Francisco Bay Area. We are committed to serving the San Francisco Bay Area community with a professional standard of musical performance. The ensemble members are devoted musicians who value the mission of this ensemble and with humility, hard work and confidence in their abilities they take on the responsibility of being amongst the “Keepers” of Egyptian musical culture within the SF Bay Area.

Our name, Music in-Takht, is a playful homophone that carries deep meaning. While it sounds like "intact," symbolizing the preservation of music at its finest, it's actually inspired by the word takht—the traditional ensemble of classical instrumentalists in Egypt and across the Arab speaking world.
