Music plays a significant and powerful role in our lives. Without melodies and harmonies, life would be mute. Music can help you relax, calm your mind, and alleviate disturbances. At the same time, it can inspire you and bring an adrenaline rush into your body. That is the power of music: it can present all sorts of emotions, whether joy and happiness or sadness and despair, through tones, rhythms, and harmonies.
Moreover, music can transport you anywhere, opening your mind to imagination and creativity. As you listen, you may find yourself revisiting cherished memories or envisioning new experiences.
Music can paint a picture and tell a story. Through musical imagery, tones, and melodies, it can create powerful narratives.
Recognizing the profound benefits and power of music, Antonine University (UA) founded the UA Choir in 1978. As one of the leading choirs in Lebanon, it has contributed to the cultural enrichment of the Lebanese musical life since the 1980s and has gained international recognition.
The Choir primarily comprises current and former UA students. It has participated in various prestigious local and international concerts, collaborating with renowned ensembles such as the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra, the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Opera Romania Philharmonic Orchestra in Timisoara, the New England Symphonic Ensemble, the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Music Sinfonia, the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia, the Giovanile Mediterranea Orchestra, and the Amman Chamber Orchestra.
The UA Choir is a place where students can expand their musical boundaries and provides them with a wonderful opportunity to meet other talented artists.
