Damascus-SANA
A high harmony tinged with precision and attention to musical details created a rich musical evening in essence, which was revived by the Amadeus Al-Nafhi trio of chamber music this evening and hosted by the Drama Theater at Dar Al-Assad for Culture and Arts.
Amadeus academic trio musicians Tarek Hatem “Flute” and Jules Chahine “Clarinet” and Tony Prince “Basoon” and based on their belief in their musical project, which was established since 2018, they seek to present the masterpieces of classical music through wind chamber music and dedicate it as a musical style aimed at introducing the audience to the nature of wind instruments.
During the evening, the trio presented 3 works over a period of 50 minutes. The beginning was with a work by the author Fox, who had written for the flute, clarinet and bassoon in 1790 and consisted of two movements.
The Amadeus trio performed the second work, which is characterized by novelty, which was written by the author Samalis in 2016 and consists of 5 movements, to conclude the evening with the third work of the author Comer, written in 1827 and consisting of 3 movements.
The program for this evening was difficult compared to the previous programs presented by the Amadeus trio, as it required a high effort by the musicians and a high concentration, as there were three instruments that required playing non-stop and continuously, which made the musicians a great responsibility to achieve high harmony and perfect focus and avoid any error that the audience might notice.

He is a principal player in the National Symphony Orchestra, with which he participated in most of its concerts inside and outside Syria.
