🎶 Eternal Homeland — Ahmed Hawwash (Live)
Eternal Homeland is a deeply personal project by Palestinian clarinetist and composer Ahmed Hawwash, built on memory, identity, and the idea of home. Drawing from forgotten melodies, oral stories, and emotional fragments of his homeland, Hawwash transforms this heritage into a contemporary musical language.
On stage, the project becomes a fully immersive experience. Hawwash and his band, joined by a string quartet, create an audiovisual journey of rich orchestration, striking visuals, and vibrant improvisation. The performance moves between fragility and intensity, tradition and experimentation — inviting the audience into a shared space of remembrance and presence.
This is not just a concert; it’s an experience that lingers long after the final note.
