Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, there’s no better way to get closer to the music you love during a pandemic than through virtual concerts.
The Sound of Resilience, will be broadcasted on local TV channels and streamed online live on July 5 from Bacchus Temple. The 55-minute concert’s 170 performers will all adhere to social distancing measures.
This non-profit concert will be performed by the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra with the Choirs of the Antonine University, Notre Dame University and Qolo Atiqo, as well as young Lebanese musicians, under the baton of Maestro Fazlian and with the participation of Rafic Ali Ahmad.
The repertoire will mirror Baalbeck as an amalgamation of national and international genres, Beethoven’s 250th birthday, and other musical themes.
