Classical Arabesque

‘What would the classical masterpieces sound like if their composers had lived in the Arab world, immersed in maqams, quarter tones, and intricate Arabic rhythms?’

Arabesque is a novel concept in which Ghady Rahbani and Omar Rahbany delve into the richness of Arabic music within the framework of the classical orchestral setup. Accompanied by the world-class Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, this two-act performance, lasting approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, reimagines the dialogue between Eastern and Western musical traditions.
