Elie Achkar. The Conductor
One of the most respected virtuoso of Qanun playing in the Arab world. The Lebanese Elie Achkar has learnt the musical craft at the hand of the master Sabsabi. He took part in several festivals in France and Europe and was in the Fairuz ensemble between 1973- to 1979. He also accompanied the great Wadie Al-Safi as well as leading voices such as Lotfi Bouchnak and the trumpet supremo Nassim Maalouf. His collaborations include the diva singer Safo for whom he worked as artistic director and composer creating a touring project inspired from the universe of the legend Oum Kaltoum.
He was the recipient of the prestigious Said Akl prize for innovation in the fields of arts and literature in 2003. Achkar has written several books and essays on Arab classical music and is about to finalise his PHD on Ethnomusicology in Paris IV university.
Elie Achkar is a regular conductor at the Arab World Institute in Paris. He created and directed a successful season for the diaspora and the non Arabs called Fairuziates.
Naziah Meftah would rarely perform without Elie and when it comes to interpreting Fairuz . Asked why this connection and bound Naziha has one answer: ‘’ He is authentic and knows the uplifting of an atmosphere that is dazzling, soulful and in fact reminiscent of the legend herself. He is connoisseur and had this privilege to perform with her for so many years. There is something as close to her as you can get by having Elie among us . ‘’
