I have been a lover of Arab music for over twenty years now, and have been wanting to see the National Arab Orchestra since they began six years ago. I couldn't have been happier with their concert, it was beyond anything I expected. The fusion with the jazz ensemble was off the charts!! I haven't seen anything that good since Robert Plant and Jimmy Page played at Market Square Arena in 1995 with an Egyptian orchestra led by Hossam Ramzy on one side of the stage, and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on the other side. This is the start of something really phenomenal, as the next show on September 19 will be with the Detroit Symphony!! It was my first time to see the guest singer, and I was so humbled by Salah Kurdi's singing, I can see why he is so loved by many. I can't wait to see the great things coming to the NAO, and thank you so much for your hard work!!
