Hasmik Leyloyan and Armenia Chamber Orchestra in ROHM
A complement to the upcoming Omani Women’s Day 2013 celebrations, this fabulous program features Omani and international performers coming together to celebrate the women of the nation on 8th of October, 2013. Armenia’s “Queen of the Qanon,” Hasmik Leyloyan, will share her dazzling mastery of this complex string instrument. A highly sought-after orchestra member, she is also no stranger to solo performance and brings a virtuoso’s polished finesse. Leyloyan’s ensemble will be followed by that of Egyptian marimba star Nesma Abdel Aziz, who has enchanted audiences around the world with her spirited approach to classical and contemporary music, both Arab and international. The evening’s dozens of performers will also include the ladies of the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, the First Royal Group for Oriental Music and Folklore, and special surprise guests. ( Must say that the special guest was famed singer Kazem Saher and his orchestra)
