Fayha National Choir transform cathedral into interfaith stage with “Mawlay” - Giving Voice to Hope

Описание: “Mawlay,” composed by Baligh Hamidi, was performed by the Fayha National Choir and the talented Omar Al-Hajj, capturing hearts and souls in celebration of Muslim musical tradition at the second edition of “Giving Voice to Music.” The concert, dubbed “Giving Voice to Hope,” was held on December 18 at the Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Catholic Cathedral in Downtown Beirut, Lebanon to celebrate interfaith dialogue, unity, and diverse communities and traditions. The night was dedicated to journalists and photojournalists, doctors and nurses, civil defense, the Lebanese National Army (LNA), and Middle East Airlines (MEA), who protected Lebanon during the 2024 war with full force and love.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Catholic Cathedral, Syriac League, and Zovighian Public Office. This concert was made possible thanks to the relentless efforts of our teams behind the scenes during the ceasefire of the 60-day war in Lebanon. Special thanks go to the producer and co-director Lynn Zovighian, with Maria Mattar, Dr. Armen Ketchek, and Maestro Barkev Taslakian.

“Giving Voice to Music” is a philanthropic initiative by the Zovighian Public Office to amplify and safeguard musicians and music in Lebanon, Armenia, and the Middle East in the face of crises and crimes of atrocity. "
