Join us on Sunday March 1 at 3 PM at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts for a breathtaking tribute to the Rahbani family—the composers whose music shaped modern Lebanese identity and captivated the Arab world.

The performance will feature vocalist Mona Miari and will be directed by Firas Zreik. The concert will also feature members of the New York Arabic Chorus.

The concert will also feature the World Premiere of Mahhatat, a newly commissioned composition by NYAO Artistic Director Layth Sidiq, written specifically for students of the LIU Music Department.

Tickets are available from the Tilles Center Box Office. (Link in comment)

Over the last few years, The New York Arabic Orchestra has proudly performed in Princeton and on Long Island—but we have not yet been able to self-produce a concert in New York City, the city we call home.

We’re working to change that.

Our goal is to produce a landmark NYC concert in Fall 2026, and your year-end support can help make it possible. Producing a full orchestral performance in New York City requires significant resources—from musicians and rehearsals to venue and production costs.

👉 Make a tax-deductible gift before year-end and help make this moment possible. Link in first comment.
