The “Syrian symphony” returns to its fans through virtual world channels

The Syrian National Symphony Orchestra returned to its fans through the virtual world channels by performing a Latin piece of music that was published on the official page of  Dar Al-Assad for Culture and Arts.

Led by Maestro Misak Bagbudrian, members of the “Syrian Symphony”, whose musical evenings were halted in compliance with the procedures to tackle the coronavirus, presented  a  musical evening.

In a statement to SANA, the Maestro Bagbudrian confirmed that the musicians could not stay away from the audience  and as a result of the current circumstance they decided to take part in a new experiment that was applied in the countries of the world through large orchestras via the Internet. Thus “La compersita” was chosen for this night, as it was one of the musical pieces that was played in the last musical evenings of the group at the Opera Theater.

The Maestro Bagbudrian explained that this experience is completely different in terms of communicating with the public , which makes them think about broadcasting the Syrian symphony concerts in the future through social networking sites directly so that the largest possible number of audiences in Damascus and the governorates can follow it on the one hand, and they can discover the reactions of the audience directly through comments and interaction on the other hand.

Symphony members are currently, according to Maestro Bagbudrian, preparing for new music programs, stressing the importance of the role of music and art in this exceptional circumstance, as it gives hope in life.
