Bach al-Beiruti

Marwan Abado, Oud & Voc. Clémence Hazaël-Massieux, Violin

„Bach al-Beiruti“ is a sonic journey between worlds by the duo Marwan Abado (Oud & Vocals) and Clèmence Hazaël-Massieux (Violin). Here, the contrapuntal severity of Johann Sebastian Bach merges with the rhythmic, passionate tonal colors of the Levant. What happens when Baroque harmony meets the improvised soul of the Levant? When violin meets oud, fugue meets irregular rhythms, German depth meets Oriental melancholy?

„Bach al Beiruti“ is the answer: a cultural bridge, a tribute to what connects us. Between lines of notation and the sounds of the street, this project tells of identity, transformation, and the universal language of music. A project that ends neither in Leipzig nor in Beirut — but begins somewhere in Vienna.
