New artistic success for Omar Harfouch

Before performing his new work, Omar Harfouch gave a very moving speech in which he recalled his difficult childhood in Tripoli, in a context marked by war and declared: “Why ‘Concerto for Peace’? I was born in Lebanon in the city of Tripoli. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I only saw the civil war that ravaged my home country. J “I survived thanks to the piano. It was my refuge and saved my life. So it was natural for me to write for peace and to tell that only peace can save our children and our grandchildren, and nothing else”.

Omar Harfouch also added: “In front of you is an orchestra that includes 45 musicians, and I have not asked them, not once, where they come from or what their religion or political affiliation is. All that mattered to us during our training days was to play in harmony, to play transparently, to play in tune and with our hearts, because all that mattered was to play together and give back. ‘hope to others (…).” A wonderful speech that left no one in the room indifferent.

To the delight of music lovers, the businessman will continue his tour around the world to spread this beautiful message of love and peace. Particularly in the Spanish parliament and the Vatican.
