Firdaus Orchestra's Unique Rendition of Danse Bacchanale

Weaving together instrumentation from the east and west, modern and classical, members of the #FirdausOrchestra present the sound of Firdaus through their unique rendition of Danse Bacchanale, from the famous Opera Samson e Dalila, arranged by one of Firdaus’ own, Fatine Garti.

We jammed through the occasion of #WorldMusicDay.
Here’s something that shows what we're made of, and is the truest representation of who we are and what we stand for.

Extending our utmost gratitude to HE Reem Al Hashimy, for allowing us to create a space and aspire to be the best; and to our beloved mentor A. R. Rahman, we thank you for giving us, and this piece, the direction it deserves.

Stay tuned for what’s to come!
