The New Levant Initiative is proud to present Levantine Symphony No. 1, composed and performed by Ibrahim Maalouf. Maalouf’s musical vision, virtuosity, and ability to synthesize the true essence of Levantine identity, embodies the openness and creativity of the Levant. With his new work, Maalouf weaves together the threads that bind the people of the Levant together not only in music and poetry, but also in a shared collective identity and memory, with the hope that a progressive and integrated new Levant will thrive once again.
Please enjoy this preview of the full concert video, which will be released in September 2018.
