Syrian music composer Iyad Rimawi performs a special one night only show, full of cinematic storytelling and melodic scores blending oriental and classical elements.
With a background in songwriting and producing for the pioneering Syrian band Kulna Sawa, Iyad Rimawi produced four of their albums, Safinet Noh, Shi Jdeed, Musaique and Kulna Sawa Radio Station.
Rimawi composed for some of the Arab world’s most iconic TV series including: Rouge, Joy and the highly anticipated epic Muawiyah—the most ambitious production in the history of Arab television drama.
In 2012, he became the first Arab artist to sign with Sony Music Middle East, releasing three landmark albums: Tales from Damascus, Silence in Syria and Damascus Now.
Since 2015, Rimawi has captivated audiences across the Middle East and Europe with a series of sold-out orchestral concerts, celebrated for their emotional depth and cinematic soundscapes. Now Rimawi brings his spellbinding sound to London for one special night.
