Tartous - Syria
Urjwan choir was launched in September 2015 in Tartous City - Syria as a choir group for harmonically distributed singing. The Adutl choir Includes More Than 60 amateurs, who belong to various social, scientific and cultural groups and segments: school and university students, employees, teachers, engineers, doctors, parents ... and from different denominations and religions of Syrian society and Syrian Cities and Governorates, who were brought together, due to war conditions, in the City of Tartous.
The first objective of establishing this Choir was to integrate choral music into our local musical culture as a new type of sung music whereby the Choir presents international choral works to its Syrian audience.
Moreover, the Choir aims to develop and modernize the methods of Arab musical compositions by harmonizing and rearranging it and singing it in a way that uses the best scientific and technical methods to present the best human voice professionally.
The Choir’s repertoire includes various types of music from classical to contemporary, oriental Arab music and international folklore. It can be sung in 17 different languages and continuously strive to improve its presentations.
Urjwan now has 3 choirs:
“Urjwan Children Choir” – lunched in 2016 (more than 100 children)
“Urjwan Youth Choir” - lunched in 2019 (more than 60 adolescents)
“Urjwan Choir” (the adults)
The Choir currently trained and led by its founder Mr. Bishr Issa the former conductor of The “Chamber Choir of the High Institute of Music”, and the Trumpet Player in the Syrian Symphony Orchestra, and the Aesthetics Teacher in the High Institute of Music – Damascus, and accompanied by the Syrian Pianist Shaza Toumeh.
“Urjwan” means “Purple” in Arabic, the lovely colour which invented by the Phoenicians, our ancestors... so we seek to spread colourful Joy, Love and Peace through our new “Urjwan”. less
