It is an audition, not-for-profit choir that performs a challenging choral repertoire and produces professional calibre performances. Under the baton of Giovanni Pasini, Qatar Concert choir regularly shares the stage with professional instrumentalists from the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, Cinemoon Ensemble, and the Doha Baroque Ensemble (the latter two members of the Qatar Philharmonic), and professional vocal soloists including Felicitas Fuchs, Stefanie Iranyi, Clint van der Linde and Benjamin Williamson. QCC has fast become the principal choir of its kind, not only in Qatar, but in the Gulf region as a whole.  less

Det binder hon om sin kärastes arm. Men kära min lilla jungfru, knyt inte så hårdt. Jag ämnar ej att rymma bort. Och jungfru hon går och lossar på rödan gullband. Så hastigt den skälmen åt skogen då sprang. Då sköto de efter honom med femton gevär Och vill ni mig något, så ha ni mig här. 少女拿著紅色金絲帶繞圈跳舞 她將絲帶綁在愛人的手臂上 我親愛的小姑娘，別綁得這麼緊哪 我沒打算逃跑呀 少女一鬆開紅色金絲帶 少年郎立刻衝向樹林裡 這時大夥兒拿起十五把獵槍朝他發射 你們想怎麼樣都行，我就在這兒  less
