Orontes Guitarist: Building Musical Bridges

Friday, February 7th

This band of classical guitarists first appeared at concerts, events and festivals in Beirut, Lakatia and Damascus, performing with the Syrian National Symphony Orchestra and even releasing an album. When the Syrian conflict escalated in 2011, the group found themselves cancelling concerts at the last minute due to violent incursions.

Gaby Al Botros, Mohammed Mir Mahmoud, and Orwa Al Sharaa now bring their uplifting blend of baroque, flamenco and blues-inspired classical guitar to communities across their new land. The story of the Orontes Guitarists is one of of resilience and hope.

Presented in collaboration with Prairie Debut.
