Ears Around the World! Inspired by the idea of individuals working together in the spirit of international brotherhood and understanding, BMG Foundation are pleased to invite you to an evening of Eastern and Western music. The programme will be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra conducted by the American conductor William Garfield Walker. This special musical programme, which features music arranged by Vienna-based Syrian-Argentinian composer Diego Collatti, synthesises traditional Arabic music in homage to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and a selection of favourites from the Western Classical music tradition.
