Gilbert Yammine Marcel Khalife’s will be the guest soloist in a program that includes Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony and Smail Benhouhou’s Rihla. Marcel Khalifé is a Lebanese music composer, oud master and singer. Completely committed to fair humanitarian issues, his revolution against Kanun Concerto oppression, violence and war, he transcends the struggle to a deeper essence to seek the liberation of man from all restrictions. His name was associated with the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. He also played a fundamental role in the establishment and development of Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra as an artistic consultant, composer and board of directors’ member. For the orchestra he has composed the Arabian Concerto, Symphony of Return, the Rababa Concerto and many other works. The Lebanese composer wrote about the kanun saying: “The kanun reminds me of Al Farabi (or Alpharabius, a scientist of the Islamic Golden Age). Arabs back then used to welcome newcomers devoted to thought, philosophy, science and music. The sound of the kanun embraces me today, resembling a piece of diamond in that old time when a wise instrumentalist entered a place full of people and started playing music that enthralled them, then made them cry, then left them in a warm beautiful somnolence, sharing nostalgia, and left. Today, we borrow that beautiful melody to cry, laugh and rejoice within the Arab blowing imagination.” Born in Algiers in 1967, Amine Kouider studied violin at the Algiers Conservatoire, then conducting in Marseille and in Paris. He continued his training at the Copenhagen Royal Conservatoire with Michel Tabachnik. At the same time he got a bachelor’s degree in musicology. After, that he studied with maestros Manuel Rosenthal in Paris and Ilya Moesin in Saint Petersburg. For two seasons, he was Valery Gergiev’s conductor assistant in the Kirov Opera House in Saint Petersburg, the Baden-Baden Marcel Khalife Festival, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, and New York Philharmonic.
