A week later, the Concerto for peace at the Dubaï Opera House on December 7th will be remembered as one of the most remarkable events ever held in Dubai. Could Omar Harfouch, the famous pianist and composer, have succeeded in instilling the hope needed to lead us towards world peace?

Be that as it may, this was not just a concert, but a powerful and inspiring experience that brought together the greatest Dubai personalities in this call for unity and harmony. Around  fifteen models from all over the world made the trip especially to support the cause.

His deep connection with his art is behind the heartfelt plea for world peace broadcast at this magnificent event

Omar Harfouch’s background alone explains his commitment to this call for peace. Born in Lebanon at a time of war, music became his refuge from the chaos. When bombings rocked his house, Omar would take refuge behind his piano. Music was not only his passion, it was his sanctuary.
