Orchestra of Tetouan and Al Sham Ensemble,7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave.; $15; 312-397-4010. Established in Morocco in 1944, the current septet from the city of Tetouan represents a direct link to the band's origins, in that some of the personnel studied with the orchestra's founders. The music dates back centuries, marking the intersection of ancient Muslim and Jewish cultures. The Al Sham Ensemble is based in Chicago and is led by Naeif Rafeh, a flutist who was born in Syria and has built an international reputation in Arabic classical music. Orchestra of Tetouan also plays at 8 p.m. Sunday at the University of Chicago's International House, 1414 E. 59th St.; $10; 773-753-2274.
