12 new national songs in ‘My country Syria’ evening
A national musical evening entitled ‘My country Syria’ was held Monday in the Damascus Opera House with the participation of 10 singers plus the choir led by the Eastern Music Orchestra.
The 12 new songs, performed by young singers, embodied patriotism and the beauty of Syria’s nature and deep-rooted civilization.
The words of the songs were selected after receiving 100 poems from several young poets, the journalist Idris Murad, who supervised the evening, told the official news agency (SANA), stressing that creative ideas emerged from the five-year-old crisis.
He pointed out that 8 workshops were organized to prepare for the musical evening.
It is worth noting that the Eastern Music Orchestra was formed in 2012 and it is composed of 50 musicians, most of them students and graduates from musical institutes in Damascus and Homs.
