Our story

Founded in the summer of 2022 in Baissour, Mount Lebanon.

Saba Al Arz Orchestra and Choir is a Lebanese musical community dedicated to preserving the Oriental folklore and musical heritage, while building cultural bridges through the innovative fusion of Arabic and Western music styles.

The community was founded in the summer of 2022. Its first concert was at Baissour Intermediate Official School, on Lebanese Independence Day, 21 November 2022.

“Standing on stage and seeing that passion reflected in the eyes of the audience, the musicians, and the choir singing is the moment Saba Al Arz's vision comes to life.”
