New Horizon presents Wissam Boustany (on the flute) in a concert entitled “The Invisible World”, accompanied on the piano by Aleksander Szram, in Assembly Hall.
Two vibrant musicians performing together on stage has nothing unusual about it, but witnessing Wissam and Aleksander in recital is a different experience. Why? Because they both perform – and record – from memory, creating an umbilical cord between themselves, the music and their audience.
Program:
MEL BONIS – Sonata
CARL WITT – This Invisible World
WISSAM BOUSTANY – “…And The Wind Whispered…”
HOUTAF KHOURY – Apres Un Reve
JOSEPH JONGEN – Sonata Op. 77
