British Paraorchestra mesmerize audience at Katara
Sasol, the global integrated energy and chemical company, hosted the British Paraorchestra for its first ever performance in Qatar last night during a joint concert with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra called, ‘Souls in Harmony’.
Held under the patronage of Ms. Muneera Bint Nasser Al-Misnad, Chairperson of the board, Qatar Foundation for Social Work, the concert was part of Sasol’s ongoing ‘Definitely Able’ corporate social responsibility initiative.
The Paraorchestra's musicians came from a variety of backgrounds and brought a range of musical styles and influences to the ensemble: from drum and bass to Baroque recorder; from lute to Indian sitar and tabla; percussion to clarinet; laptops, iPads and specially designed software to viola.
Last night's performance definitely highlighted the abilities of the disabled.
The ‘Souls in Harmony’ concert aims to expand on the success of ‘Definitely Able’, emphasizing the importance of offering equal opportunities to all citizens in society, irrespective of their physical shortcomings.
