The UK’s Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra Makes Its Egypt Debut

The RPCO’s landing in the historical embrace of the GEM in Cairo, hosted by Arabesque International in cooperation with the British Embassy in Egypt and the British Egyptian Business Association, means Egyptian fans can finally enjoy this experience, too. 

Led by British maestro Stephen Bell, who was described by International Record Review as “one of the most gifted younger British conductors,” the RPCO will also perform a line-up of lively cappricios by the likes of Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. The concert orchestra will then be joined by Egyptian international award-winning musicians Amira and Mariam Abozahra, granddaughters of the brilliant Abdelrahman Abozahra. The two sisters have garnered a slew of awards over the course of their careers, including Amira’s Fritz Kreisler in Vienna, and Mariam’s ‘Nutcracker’ award for young musicians in Russia.
