Its program features classical and popular repertoire by the great Rahbani Brothers, as well as Bassam Saba’s original works - passionate compositions deeply rooted in the traditions of Lebanese folk and classical Arabic music. Saba, a virtuoso nay (flute) player, multi-instrumentalist, and leading figure in Arabic music, has performed widely with Fairuz, Marcel Khalife, and Simon Shaheen. Featured artists include the stunning vocalists Naji Youssef and Salma Marjieh.
