Join us at Hidden Cellar Ashrafieh this August 28 for a special musical evening with Lebanese musician and composer Ziyad Sahhab, joined by Naim El Asmar. What if the great composers of Arabic music had lived in our time? What If? is a musical project built around imagination, curiosity, and the timelessness of Arabic music. Ziyad Sahhab explores questions such as: How would legendary composers like Zakaria Ahmed, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, or Farid Al Atrash have written and sounded if they were creating music today? Bringing together different musical schools, styles, arrangements, and generations, Ziyad Sahhab and Naim El Asmar reimagine familiar sounds while performing a selection of beloved songs alongside original works. Expect an evening that looks at Arabic music through a contemporary lens while staying rooted in its rich musical heritage. Come early, grab a bite, order your favorite drinks, and settle in for a night packed with great music and good vibes.
