OMAR HARFOUCH - CONCERTO FOR PEACE

In today’s hyper-connected world, digital connections are at an all-time high, while meaningful human connections seem to be on the decline. With societies increasingly fractured by discord, renowned pianist and philanthropist Omar Harfouch is on a mission to heal these divides using the universal language of music. His latest endeavor, Concerto for Peace, is a global musical initiative aimed at promoting unity, starting with an unforgettable debut performance in Paris. On September 18, Concerto for Peace kicked off at the iconic Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in front of a sold-out crowd of over 1,900 people. For Harfouch, Paris—his adopted home for more than 30 years after leaving war-torn Tripoli, Lebanon—was the ideal city to begin the tour. Among the attendees were diplomats, politicians, artists, and peace activists, all eager to experience Harfouch’s vision of a world connected through music. Notable figures like French actress Catherine Deneuve were present, adding to the cultural and diplomatic significance of the event. What started as a classical concert has now grown into a full-fledged movement for global harmony, blending classical and Eastern influences into a universal anthem for peace. Concerto for Peace goes beyond the music — it’s a call to action. “ORIENTAL FANTASY” - BY OMAR HARFOUCH Orchestration: Houtaf Khoury – Omar Harfouch Piano: Omar Harfouch Solo Violin: Jean-Ludovic Portejoie Solo Trumpet: Jean Trouttet Solo Percussion: Mathilde Lieutard Béziers Mediterranan Orchestra / Conductor: Mathieu Bonnin “TRIPOLI” - BY OMAR HARFOUCH Piano: Omar Harfouch Béziers Mediterranean Orchestra / Conductor: Mathieu Bonnin “SAVE ONE LIFE” - BY OMAR HARFOUCH Piano: Omar Harfouch Solo Trumpet: Philippe Castell Béziers Mediterranean Orchestra / Conductor: Mathieu Bonnin “CONCERTO FOR PEACE” - BY OMAR HARFOUCH Orchestration: Houtaf Khoury – Omar Harfouch Piano: Omar Harfouch Solo Violin: Anne Gravoin Co-Solo Violin: Anna Bondarenko Béziers Mediterranean Orchestra / Conductor: Mathieu Bonnin SEQUENTIAE ENSEMBLE / BÉZIERS MEDITERRANEAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Conductor: Mathieu Bonnin Assistant Conductor: Victor Madrenes Administrator: Virginie Robert First Violins: Solo Violin: Jean-Ludovic Portejoie Co-Solo Violin: Michael Seigle, Marie Sauvan-Magnet, Emilie Ballet, Igor Ferlan, Clarisse Weller, Pauline Gillet, Gersende Mondani, Amélie Hirsch, Judith Taupin, Marie-Anne Ravel, Cécile Di Marino Second Violins: Eloïse Renard, Boris Cacciaguera, Cécile Désier, Jean-François Desrus, Célia Dalmasso, Lucie Biek, Elton Majollari, Fanton Clerc, Izia Wallerich, Aya Souverbie Violas: Maxence Grimbert, Axel Benedetti, Ophélie Renard, Marcela Giordano, Amélie Leduc, Milena Mouton Cellos: Lucien Debon, Ingrid Hwang, Magali Mouterde, Louis Fatus, Aurore Daniel, Emilie Touchard, Stéphan Soeder, Clio Erte Double Basses: Boris Cavaroc, Lucas Fernando Holguin Vaca, Léa Guilbert Lejeune, Sapho Wanty Harp: Martine Flaissier Flutes: Claire-Lise Bardot, Marielle Vaubaillon Oboes: Justine Gadave, Coline Vallot Clarinets: Andrei Freidine, Lucas Romani Bassoons: Chloé Kieken, Mélodie Geneste Horns: Olivier Brouard, Matthieu Pointeau Trumpets: Jean Trouttet, Philippe Castell Trombones: Hervé Barthe, José Molero Percussions:Thibault Brebbia, Etienne de Nys, Mathilde Lietard, Olivier Pham Van Tham CHOIR OF THE SEQUENTIAE ENSEMBLE Alexandre Adra, Candice Albardier, Marthe Alexandre, Alexandre Artemenko, Pierre Barret-Mémy, Olivier Bizot, Daniel Brant, Cécile Côte, Pierre-Yves Cras, Alix de Guérines, Pierre-Louis Egloff Wiss, Léo Fernique, Damien Ferrante, Noam Fima, Gaspard François, Marie-Cécile Henry-Brossard, Anne-Laure Hulin, Maëlle Javelot, Thomas Le Colleter, Kiup Lee, Gaël Lefèvre, Céleste Lejeune, Marie-Josée Matar, Olivier Merlin, Rebecca Moeller, Léo Muscat, Lisandro Pelegrina, Faustine Picco, Carlos Porto, Anémone Robic, Louise Thomas, Kathleen Trival Produced by CAYMAN PRODUCTIONS Producers: Pierre Emmanuel Metz and Pierre-Alexandre Zucca
