Faraj Suleiman: Live in Concert
Get ready for an unforgettable night of music as acclaimed Palestinian composer, pianist and vocalist Faraj Suleiman makes his long-awaited UAE debut this summer. Taking the stage at The Red Theater at The Arts Center, Faraj will perform live with a full band on Friday, August 29 at 7.30pm, delivering a spellbinding set that blends emotion, rhythm, and cinematic flair.
Known for his genre-defying sound fusing Arabic melodies with jazz, rock, and classical influences Faraj’s music is both playfully intricate and deeply moving. Expect to hear tracks from his breakthrough album Better Than Berlin, alongside selections from his most recent and introspective release, Maryam.
The album unfolds like a story: it begins with light and romance, and gradually shifts into darker reflections on grief, loss, and transformation. It’s a powerful expression of today’s emotional landscape, wrapped in folk-inspired instrumentation and tender vocals.
