THE ANDALUSIAN ARABIC CHOIR SYDNEY

Press Release

Live the dream: Join The Andalusian Arabic Choir Sydney

The Andalusian Arabic Choir Sydney (or AACS) is a Hispano-Arab music culture choir established by choristers from the Sydney French Choir and Sydney Spanish Choir, both administered by Oz Choirs and Music Inc. (www.ozchoirsandmusic.com.au). In the 9th century, Arabs were the catalysts for world advancement in science, medicine, engineering and architecture. Spanish Arabs set popular poetry to music and sung in the mouashah and zajal styles. The word Andalusia comes from the Arabic name Al-Andalus, a part of Spain and Portugal ruled by Arabs for over 750 years. The most famous singer, composer and creator of Andalusian mouashah is Ziryab, one of the greatest music teachers of all time. He arrived in Andalusia in 821 AD and enchanted the court of Cordova for years with his wit, music and song. He established the first conservatory of music in Cordova, and his teaching methods are still used today.

The choir’s Musical Director, Mr Fouad Harraka.
composer, musician and graduate of the Lebanese Conservatorium of Music will take you back to that era's civilisation, culture and music. You’ll take part in unique concerts where the choir, a dance group and orchestra (playing instruments from the Andalusian era) entertain huge audiences.
