la Chanterie de Beyrouth, Choir
Founder and Choirmaster of « la Chanterie de Beyrouth », Noha Hatem established this Lebanese children’s choir around 20 years ago with the mission of promoting and nurturing young musical talent. La Chanterie de Beyrouth has been since then contributing to the Lebanese cultural scene by performing in various musical events throughout the country and becoming a regular participant at Beirut Chants.  This choir amounts to about 30 children of different ages, from 6 to 15 who come from different backgrounds and are united in their love for singing. They sing for fraternity, a peaceful world and a better humanity in multiple languages: French, English, Arabic and Spanish, celebrating thus the joyful spirit of Christmas.
Noha Hatem studied musicology and pedagogy in Paris and Lyon at the institute of Musicology, and has participated in several internships in London, Germany and France  completing thus a degree in the training direction and musical initiation of Children’s choirs. Her dedication as Choirmaster of la Chanterie de Beyrouth has won her the Chevalier des Palmes Académiques from the French Government and the Medal of Order of Isabel the Catholic from the Spanish Government. Under her conducting skills and the artistic direction of the pianist Isabelle Issahakian, the children of la Chanterie de Beyrouth will carry this year again their audiences, thanks to their innocent spirits, to the purity of their world through a large selection of classical Christmas songs, in addition to many carols from around the world. Don’t miss their performances!
