Tomorrow Amman Symphony Orchestra will be launched at 8.30 at the King Hussein Cultural Center.. Unfortunately there isn't any tickets nor invitations for all of you to attend! Any ways today was the General rehearsal for the program, the Orchestra is going to perform its First performance as the Amman Symphony Orchestra playing Mozart, Strauss, Dvorak, Brahms and more!
The National Music Conservatory(NMC) Arabic Music Ensemble will Perform a number of classical Arabic selections including Al-laylu ya layla Solo: Nizar Faris, Rij3at layali Zaman Solo (a young girl i don't know her first name but family name is sam3an)
Also the NMC string ensemble will perform Thikrayati(QASABJI) and Longa Ryadh (Ryadh al Sunbati)
Hopefully it'll all work well it was a total chaos today at the general rehearsal!! We were all over each other and we finished around 10.30!!
here are some pics of the general:
they're not that good, but they'll do i guess!
the ASO small but nice and hopefully musically active

to the left is the Arabic Music Ensemble.. In the concert two soloists will be siniging with them and the (Mahabeesh) will play with them one of the Jordanian traditional songs Reedaha.. (for all of you that don't know what a Mehbash is its an old instrument used to grind coffee been in the past and due to the fact you use the act of grinding (beating with a stick) we conceder it some how a traditional percussion instrument) conducted by Sakher Hattar
