Nour, concert de Noël du Chœur des Musicales du Liban

As Christmas approaches, the Chœur des Musicales du Liban, conducted by Fadi Khalil and accompanied on organ by Elie Sawma, presents « Nour », a musical journey around the mystery of the Nativity.

The program brings eras and traditions together: Renaissance polyphonies (Victoria), Byzantine and Latin chants, Bach, Poulenc, Duruflé, James MacMillan, and Lebanese composers — Naji Hakim, Khalil Rahme, Iyad Kanaan, and Ramzi Kandalaft, whose « Milad al-Kalima », commissioned by the festival, will be premiered.

Structured in three movements — the waiting, the mystery, the light —, this concert celebrates Christmas in a spirit of hope, peace, and brotherhood.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Children's Cancer Center, to support children with cancer in Lebanon.
