It is with a broken heart that we received the devastating news of Mounir Makhoul's passing, violinist of the Lebanese philharmonic orchestra. Having shared the stage with him on our several collaborations with the LPO, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
Isaiah 44:3
We join the music community in saying farewell to Bassam Saba, the director of the National Higher Conservatory of Music. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends in these tragic times.
On Saturday September 19, we'll be doing our part in mourning and remembering those who were lost in one of the darkest hours in Lebanese history. Live from the blast site, the performance will be broadcast on all local TV channels at 6.30 p.m.

Last week was supposed to be a big one. Another collaboration with the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra was on schedule, with our director Khalil Rahme's debut as guest conductor in the LPO's regular season. We hope to be back on track soon! Until then, stay safe and healthy!
Our former members, spreading around the world, have gathered virtually with Fr. Khalil Rahme on the organ to wish our eastern Christian friends a happy Easter!

We couldn't be more proud that one of our own sopranos is on the front lines of the battle against coronavirus! Jihane Dahan is spending her days in the lab of Saint Georges Hospital Beirut, studying blood samples of corona patients. Jihane has a small message for you: STAY SAFE!
Having spent our days at home, studying and learning new material for our upcoming engagements, we thought we'd have some fun with this short song by Canadian artist Béatrice Martin. Stay safe people and stay home!

On March 26, 1827, Ludwig Van Beethoven laid down his plume. Despite having already canceled two performances of his 9th symphony due to the covid-19 outbreak, we will still get to perform it to you soon hopefully. For now, enjoy this clip from one of last season's performances!
