It was a superb musical evening last night in aid of The Hope Foundation at the Al Hashemi, Radisson Blu. Under the patronage of the British ambassador to Kuwait, HE Frank Baker.
The very talented young muscians from both Kuwait English School and British School of Kuwait enthusiastically played and sang to an appreciative audience. The concert opened with, the much talked about, Kuwaiti opera singer Rahmani (Abdulrahman Al-Mahmeed) singing O Sole Mio, which was just lovely.
A very reasonable KD 5 ticket price with drinks and canapes served at the interval.
Wonderful piano solos, saxophone and string ensembles, an enchanting santur, big band tunes and some superb harmonies. From Chopin to the Simpsons, it was truly a superb evening. A big finale with Rahmani singing my absolute favourites, Nessun Dorma and Conte Partiro; which had me teary eyed.
With thanks to Mrs Rhoda Muhmood, her staff and all those who made the evening so very special.
