“The sombre mood of the piece, which weaves Tristan-inspired harmonies with the modes and microtones of the east, was beautifully sustained by the conductor.”

“Arvo Pärt’s Silouan’s Song was beautifully and confidently played and lifted to another level by conductor Fawzi Haimor’s skillful use of silence in the pauses.”

…Haimor’s sense of drama and his particular gift for strong, emphatic finishes garnered standing ovations for all three works.
