Orchestra's Musicians

Meet the musicians of Firqat Alnoor—each of them carries hundreds of compositions in their minds and memories. This is because the orchestra performs without sheet music. Firqat Alnoor is the only orchestra in Israel, and one of the few in the world, to follow this method, which has been a cornerstone of classical Arabic music since its inception.

While this approach demands intensive effort and dedication from the musicians, the ultimate beneficiary is the audience, who gets to experience live music filled with emotion and passion.
