Historical context

Ensemble Phoenicia stands at the forefront of bridging musical traditions of the Middle East and Western classical music. Our concerts are more than just performances; they offer a space for cultural dialogue, provide an educational journey, and promote a celebration of our heritage. We aim to challenge perceptions, educate listeners, and provide a platform for underrepresented voices, thereby enriching the cultural fabric of our community and the classical music world at large.
