MONTREAL, Feb. 8 /CNW Telbec/ – Fairouz, the Lebanese Diva of Arab
chanson, is in Montreal, the culturally unique city in North America,
where she will present two concerts at the Salle Wilfrid Pelletier
Place des Arts, on February 12 and 13, 2005.
Accompanied by 50 musicians and artists of international caliber,
directed by the chef d’orchestre Maestro Karen Durgaryan, Fairouz
will present a mix of her standard repertoire as well as new songs.
The audience will have the pleasure to hear the crystalline pure voice
of Fairouz, her well known but incomparable ballades, and songs from
her rich and varied repertoire. The new material from her recent albums
shows the evolution of Fairouz’s career toward a more jazzy style. The
strong program of the two concerts promise extra-ordinary moments of
enjoyment and musical ecstasy, whether due to the authentic delivery of
the voice of Fairouz, or for the virtuosity of the musicians directed
by the illustrated Maestro Durgaryan, whose credentials include the
function of the director of the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra and
the Symphonic Orchestra of Yerevan.
Fairouz in Concert is exclusively in Montreal, in two exceptional
presentations on 12 and 13 February 2005 at the Place des Arts in
the prestigious and famed Salle Wilfrid Pelletier.
