Now in its ninth year, the concert will be held at Bryan Brown Theatre on Saturday, May 18, from 7.30pm.
With the theme, ‘Where Oceans Meet’, the concert will include a five-piece band and some English songs will feature, including those from Lady Gaga’s ‘A Star is Born’ film.
There will also be a guest performance from Lebanese Maronite visual artist, Father John Jabbour, who is visiting Australia for the first time to exhibit his artwork and perform solo as a Oud (luth) player.
A not-for-profit organisation established in 2010, Mirath in Mind supporters strive to keep alive the cultural legacies of the arts and heritage of Australia’s Arabic and Lebanese communities.
Mirath Chairperson Chadia g Hajjar said: “The students are some of the best young performers we have had in the last nine years since the inception of Mirath in Mind.
“There will also be a special performance from The Voice finalist Lara Nakhle.
“The two-hour concert will be a cultural treat for all – young and old – so grab friends and family and save the date.” The Mirath in Mind Gala event will be held at Bankstown Sports on Friday, October 25.
