In the most volatile of times, and amidst an increasing fear of all out war in the Middle East, an unprecedented musical collaboration took place in Beirut- as a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and as a token of peace.

The only Jazz Orchestra in the Middle East, the Big Band of the Lebanese National Conservatory of Music (LNCM), in collaboration with New York-based hard bop jazz trumpeter, and multiple Grammy Award Winner Michael Mossman, and world renowned Oud Master (Middle Eastern Lute) Charbel Rouhana, presented a free Big Band Jazz concert on January 26th, as a statement of cooperation between several nationalities all suffering one way or the other from the plight of refugees.

This event took place at the USJ Abu Khater Theater, near the National Museum, in Beirut Lebanon – a nation now surrounded by the worse refugee crisis in the Middle East since World War II resulting from the ongoing brutal civil war in bordering Syria.
