An effervescent mix of diverse sounds for an extraordinary concert!

Shawati( Arabic for shores) is a unique encounter between three groups. Together, they symbolize the richness of music from around the Mediterranean. This super-orchestra combines pop culture, contemporary music, Middle Eastern tradition and Balkan melodies.

At center stage, the electro-pop duo Bedouin Burger, with Lynn Adib - a unique voice from Syria - and Zeid Hamdan - founder of the legendary duo Soapkills in Lebanon. To their left, the Dīwān ensemble (ouds, flutes, strings, brass, percussion), who sweep the crowds away with their bewitching melodies. And to their right, the magnificent soprano Cristiana Presutti and an ensemble from Geneva’s Haute école de musique HEM, performing traditional songs transformed by contemporary writing.
