Tenor Haitham Haidar leads his JUNO Award-nominated project, Zaytoun (meaning ‘Olive’ in Arabic) alongside Rachell Ellen Wong, Dušan Balarin, Amanda Keesmaat, Abraham Ross, and Abdul-Wahab Kayyali. Zaytoun is a captivating collection of beautiful Baroque and Arabic songs, interlaced with poetry and musical improvisations, an exploration of the intersection between Baroque and Arabic music. Whether it be through instrumentation, ornamentation, or vocal production, Zaytoun highlights the natural connections between what we generally view as separate worlds.
