Make Freedom Ring
Debut residency concert featuring the Galilee Quartet blending Western classical strings with Middle Eastern traditions at P21 Gallery.
Join us at P21 Gallery for an intimate evening of extraordinary music as we launch a new residency in collaboration with Make Freedom Ring, a platform dedicated to promoting classical musicians from the Levant.
Taking its name from Paul Robeson's iconic vision of art as a bridge between communities, Make Freedom Ring creates a dedicated space within the classical music industry for artists navigating insecurity, censorship, and isolation. This debut concert marks the first in a targeted series designed to showcase Levant artists, expand their networks, and foster cross-disciplinary artistic connections in London.
Featured Performance: The Galilee Quartet
For this opening residency performance, we are proud to present The Galilee Quartet , an acclaimed ensemble formed by four Palestinian siblings: Omar, Mostafa, Tibah, and Gandhi Saad. Hailing from Maghar in the Galilee, the quartet recently completed studies at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris and the Verbier Festival Academy, and currently study at the prestigious Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.
Following a highly successful UK tour, the Saad siblings bring their unique dual identity to P21 Gallery, seamlessly blending Western classical string repertoire with Middle Eastern vocal and instrumental traditions.
Musicians & Instrumentation Omar Saad: Viola & Arabic Percussion Mostafa Saad: Violin & Oud Tibah Saad: Cello & Vocals Gandhi Saad: Violin & Vocals Transitioning effortlessly between classical quartet configurations and traditional Arabic ensemble arrangements, their repertoire features rich original compositions that bridge Eastern and Western soundscapes, reflecting their Palestinian heritage and world-class classical training.
All profits from ticket sales will directly support the continuation of the Make Freedom Ring concert series, establishing long-term performance and networking opportunities for Levant classical musicians.
