Layan Srour is a Detroit-based Lebanese curator, conductor, and researcher whose work explores cultural memory, identity, and connection through music. In Beirut, her sound was shaped by the folk love songs carried through the streets and the vibrant energy of the city's underground music scene. Srour’s work moves between performance, education, and community building, shaped by her cross-cultural experiences with organizations such as the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Jazz Festival, and the Arab American National Museum. She is the founder of Fusha (فُسحة), an ensemble and creative platform grounded in the Arabic word for “space.” With no fixed members, it invites collaborators from all backgrounds and genres into a shared sonic environment that centers improvisation, voices, and stories. Srour also hosts “40 Minutes With,” a weekly interview series highlighting Arab American musicians and their experiences at the intersections of music, identity, and tradition. Through these conversations, she builds a growing hub and archive of Arab American sound.
