Marcel Khalife
A world class musician and Arabic folk hero, Khalife's partnership with the orchestra will provide a unique musical experience. Equally respected as an ambassador for peace and his visit is as much about promoting understanding between different communities as it is about breaking down barriers between different musical cultures.

Clark Rundell, who will conduct the concerts, said: "I am extremely excited to be working with Marcel Khalife as I have been a huge fan of his music for many years. The concert at Philharmonic Hall will certainly be a memorable evening for all of us."

The concert will include, amongst other music, a performance of Khalife's Concerto Al-Andalus, as well as a piano, oud and orchestra work composed by his son, Rami Khalife.
